| 2-disc set!
eremite continues its documentation of this remarkable duo, who have played together since 1973, with a double c/d set (140+ minutes) featuring two cleanly recorded concerts from a 2000 american tour. parker's recent interest in double-reed instruments & moondoc's introduction of a soprano saxophone moves their music into realms of joyfully non-tempered playing that recall the master musicians of jajouka. elsewhere the old bass & alto slam it out. on disc 2, hamid drake joins the duo at chicago's velvet lounge for an emotionally-charged homecoming concert for moondoc with much of his family in the audience. |
