"Unusual in terms of its sparse instrumentation, this recording mostly encompasses freely improvised duos between two masters of the genre, trombonist Steve Swell and clarinetist Perry Robinson.
"This is a rare opportunity to hear both of these extraordinary performers in duo; in many ways, this is a much more difficult challenge than working with a larger group, as there is no chordal underpinning from the bass, nor rhythmic pulse from the drums, and, except for "Children's Song," not even a hint at a melody. Often the results are exciting, invigorating, and even surprising, but it can be difficult." - Steven Loewy, All About Jazz (excerpt)
