Albert Marquès / Rachel Therrien: Dialogue (Vol. I & II)
by Artur Moral
Except for the most radically experimental music, in a jazz context increasingly dominated by written scores that leave little room for improvisation, the appearance of a musical diptych centered on the latter is undoubtedly most welcome.
