*2023 stock* "Gianni Mimmo who runs Amirani Records from Italy and has performed in the KFJC Pit, here is joined by Pierfrancesco Mucari in a series of unaccompanied saxophone duets. These inventive and engaging duets bring to mind some of the duet work of Julius Hemphill and Oliver Lake, if only somewhat less raucous. I also hear a soupcon of Anthony Braxton.
These duets seem to be neither fully written out but nor entirely improvised. They play sopranos and an alto, the musical range of which makes the music somewhat ethereal. The two horns weave and zoom, connecting in harmonic figures, and then meander off in their own directions. This music seems to be somewhat atonal in nature, and particularly European (that is more in the classical end of thimgs and not in the American Jazz vernacular.) Any of these selections would make a welcome addition to your radio show whether Jazz or otherwise. Recommended." - KFJC 89.7FM Albion Moonlight
