RECORDINGS
phillip greenlief - eli pina DUO
otras palabras
Greenlief traveled to Mexico City for a tenor-sax dialogue with Piña (left channel), who inspired unflagging conversation on three long tracks. First the two roll with nonstop intensity, nearly argumentative. Then they develop a beautiful balance, with Piña uttering complex glottal statements and Greenlief, via circular breathing, hovering constantly in ever-varying patterns. The crowning finale is a wonderful shower of textural interplay emphasizing the two tenors' off-the-staff blowing options. Language of art & heart. - Greg Burk - Metal Jazz
