Rainey, Wright, Lonberg-Holm, Marsh: Double Double - CD
Spring Garden Music
Bhob Rainey, Jack Wright - saxes
Fred Lonberg-Holm, Bob Marsh - cellos
Two saxophones and two cellos in the hands of theses musicians means a carnival of counterpoint and subterfuge as saxophones pose as cellos, cellos as saxophones and everybody as everybody else. Although the chamber-like instrumentation does lead to a powerful intimacy, there is no chamber-jazz preciousness here; instead, there is a rollicking momentum and sense of playfulness amidst even the most seriously dark textures. Recorded live in New York, Baltimore, and Washington D.C. in April 2000.
