This duo plays essential good jazz music. Two great artists create an unobtrusive beautiful album which "unspectacular" therefore come se is spectacular again. Nothing is superficial. The two "float through" some great standards and leave a subtly nuanced profoundly positive essence of this. No sound is unplaziert, overused nothing. The game is full of refined and dynamic syncopation and actually lacks any other supplement. For whom Charlie Haden here is the unknown artists, takes on this album one of the best examples of why he is one of the most extraordinary artists on bass. Even outside its "solos" in which his bass initially not be big aufällt I recommend the really interested even to follow closely how he refined with a few notes at exactly the right time and at the same time forms a foundation of the action ago replaced an entire rhythm section. In the passages where the bass appears melodically to the fore telepathic the quality of the interaction with Jarret is felt directly. Every decision and harmonic nuance seems decided and selected. It is much easier with a confusing fast tones Overcrowded improvisation produce to make spontaneous decisions as the structured and lead to a self-dormant musical. But that's one of the great artistic skills really good jazz musician. A lifetime of such moments to practice in which only one frame is clamped to be taken in the spontaneous decisions that result in music the deeply structured, well thought out and, therefore, comes to the essentials limited. Impressive.
