This duet between two great musicians, whose musical vision bridges the Atlantic and reaches the universal, is more than a quarter century old yet doesn't show a single wrinkle. That's because the lyricism of Surman's baritone sax and the beautiful chords of DeJohnette's electric piano can touch listeners from everywhere, anytime. This poised melody, with its repetitive twists and controlled horn shrieks, is simply beautiful, and conveys the essential.
