Kris Tiner and Mike Baggetta: There, Just As You Look For It
From high harmonics and bowed phrases on guitar to the unusual sound of a saxoflugel, the duo's performance offers new and different timbres. The best parts of the the program come when Tiner and Baggetta allow a few melodies to flow naturally. "WE" consists of a little classical guitar harmony along with solo trumpet melodies. "I" adds a solemn oath to the session. "One More Chance" features muted trumpet and acoustic guitar in a classical music frenzy.
At other times, the two musicians may sound as if they're tuning up or practicing. Nevertheless, they've allowed free choices to affect the outcome, and they grab hold of their music with an unbridled spirit.
