Album Description
Chicago is blessed to serve as home base for many gifted jazz musicians, none more restlessly creative nor technically virtuosic than master percussionist Paul Wertico. Though best known for his long years of work with guitarist Pat Metheny, Wertico is an extraordinary soloist in his own right, as he establishes in every bar of this tour de force recording. Teaming with the equally protean percussionist Gregg Bendian, Wertico unleashes an avalanche of sound, color and polyrhythm. Even so, the duo percussionists take pains to keep textures utterly clear and lucid, phrases crisp and witty. The result is one of the most unusual and provocative recordings of the new year. - Chicago Tribune
