Ferenc Snetberger is a Hungarian master guitarist, classically schooled, fully
educated in jazz guitar, but also skilled in the Roma tradition, Brazilian and
flamenco guitar. Markus Stockhausen is in that sense very close to him, but
then on trumpet. Both musicians can converse in any musical idiom, and that was
clearly the basis for this collaboration, for which they first had some free
improvization amongst themselves, then they listened to the result together,
took out the best pieces, wrote them down and further expanded upon
them. Furthermore, the two musicians have recorded and played together many
times, and that also led to the closeness you can experience on this very
intimate and expansive music. The overall tone is reminiscent of what has been
called ECM-style jazz, as created by musicians such as Kenny Wheeler, Jan
Garbarek, Bill Connors, Egberto Gismonti. There are no rough tones, there is no
sign of anger, violence or agression, no hard feelings, just impressionistic
wonder, the search for aesthetic beauty and clarity of execution. And more
often than not, in the hands of less skilled artists, this leads to some dull
or flat experience, yet on this album the music itself and the musicianship are
just too good to let this happen. A real treat.
