Search - Paul Dunmall, Chris Corsano :: Identical Sunsets (Dig)

Best known for his collaborations with Paul Flaherty, Michael Flower, and Thurston
Moore as well as a stint as the drummer for Björk s Volta tour Chris Corsano
is widely considered to be one of the best drummers of his generation. Equally
adaptive is UK saxophone giant Paul Dunmall, who has worked 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 at the Lisbon Airport, Corsano
left the Björk mega-tour to get down to business alongside the prolific Dunmall
for some vital improvisation in England. This wonderfully recorded live set begins
with Dunmall swirling away on the border pipes, and what follows is an impulsive
and lyrical improvisation, alternating between sparse and impossibly textured. The
melodies are expertly uncoiled so that they remain charged whether the tempo is
at full speed or crawling, and the whole set gives the impression that this duo was
fated to work together.
