Joe Morris - Barre Phillips: Elm City Duets 2006
A volte si intrecciano e si avvinghiano in un abraccio quasi soffocante, altre volte sembrano ignorarsi seguendo traiettorie apparentemente distanti, a volte sembrano intasare tutto lo spazio disponibile, altre volte rispettano un religioso silenzio, quasi timorosi di invadere il terreno altrui.

Stiamo parlando del contrabbasso di Barre Phillips e della chitarra acustica di Joe Morris, impegnati in otto duetti registrati per la sempre più interessante etichetta portoghese Clean Feed. Ma Elm City Duets 2006 è soprattutto una questione di corde, quelle sottili della chitarra e quelle più robuste del contrabbasso.

Corde pizzicate, accarezzate, maltrattate, percosse con le dita e con l'archetto, corde che stridono e che piangono, corde che narrano la vita e quindi raccontano gioie e dolori, illusioni e speranze. Non ci sono canovacci, tracce, punti di raccordo, snodi narrativi in Elm City Duets 2006, semplicemente c'è il fluire libero e senza ostacoli del pensiero musicale di due maestri della musica creativa.

Track Listing

01. Ninth Square; 02. Recite; 03. Saved stones; 04. June Song; 05. Normal stuff; 06. Spirals; 07. Translate; 08. Got into some things. Tutti i brani sono improvvisati.
