A very obscure item has arrived. This 1989 trombone duo album by Roland Dahinden, who has performed scores by John Cage, Alvin Lucier, and Christian Wolff, and Christian Muthspiel, who has collaborated with Gary Peacock and Vladimir Tarasov, is a treasure. Track A1 features long-tone trombone performances reminiscent of AACM's George Lewis's masterpieces "The Imaginary Suite" and "Homage to Charlie Parker," evolving into rhythmic mouth percussion. Track A3, which blends breath-like vocalizations with simple phrases layered gently, showcases the trombone's full potential. This hidden gem features superb performances that cross the boundaries between jazz and contemporary music. Highly recommended.
A1: Brenda’s Dance
A2: Outstanding Excursions
A3: Second Song
