Title: Two Virtusos - one on piano - one on bass - a winning combination!
Product review: Virtuosic duets in an intimate setting can frequently bring out the best of performers(minus a drummer). Pianist Denny Zeitlin and bassist David Friesen provide the introspection and improv/interplay for a beautiful jazz-scape! This enjoyable effort, one of pianist Denny Zeitlin's infrequent recordings, has four trio selections recorded with bassist Joel DiBartolo and drummer Peter Donald but for me the highlights are four 1989 duets with bassist David Friesen recorded live at Maybeck Recital Hall. Harmonically advanced and thought-provoking, while they all too infrequently appear on recordings as leaders, together here they make memorable music!Tracks 1,2,3,4 recorded at Starlight Sound, CA;Tracks 5,6,7,8 recorded live at Maybeck Recital Hall, Berkeley, CA;Track 9 (Ornette Coleman's obscure "Broadway Blues") recorded live at Procito's, Tacoma, WA
