| 2010 release ; always great to hear chris bash out in cahoots w/ a nimble, fleet-fingered horn player ... here uk stalwart paul dunmall ...
after a rousing solo border pipe screamer (listen to the sound-sample), things get right real quick, with the duo ascending & de-escalating through a wavering tide of third-mind improv ; paul keeping things lyrical & thick, chris following suit, occasionally taking the lead via impossibly slow build-up to full-on fire-music fury ...
once again, the contemporary reality of esp-disk’ is just as mind-bending as it’s historical relevance ... highly recommended !!! |

paul dunmall & chris corsano - identical sunsets
best known for his collaborations with paul flaherty, michael flower and thurston moore as well as a year-and-a-half stint as the drummer for björk's volta tour, chris corsano is widely considered to be one of the most adaptive drummers of his generation. equally prolific is uk saxophone giant, paul dunmall, who has worked disparately with jazz greats like alice coltrane and evan parker as well as funk and folk acts like johnny guitar watson and dando shaft.
after a chance meeting in a taxi line at lisbon airport, a surreal intertwining of tours emanated. in between the lasers, confetti and face-painted fans at plymouth pavillions and wolverhampton civic hall, chris left the björk mega-tour to get down to business alongside the imaginative dunmall for some vital improvisation at slak bar in cheltenham, england.
this wonderfully recorded live set begins with dunmall swirling away on the border pipes (he may be the preeminent improvisor using bagpipes). what follows is an impulsive and lyrical improvisation, alternatingly sparse and impossibly textured. corsano's skittering marries perfectly with dunmall's rapid-fire lines. the melodies are expertly uncoiled so that they remain charged whether the tempo is at full speed or crawling. the set ends furiously, leaving no doubt that this duo was fated to work together.
