Phil Grenadier / Bruno Raberg Duo: Plunge
by Dan Bilawsky
Two men are responsible for every sound heard on the avant-leaning Plunge, but this record shouldn't be mistaken for a naked, take-me-as-I-am duo date. Bassist Bruno Råberg and trumpeter Phil Grenadier take full advantage of technology to create piquant aural landscapes that expand and expound on the very nature of man-to-man dialogue. This ...

by Chris Mosey
The inspiration for this album was saxophonist Ornette Coleman's “Lonely Woman."
