This recording is certainly not jazz, but then it doesn't
claim to be. In fact, except for "Skind," a solo drum
feature, and for brief drum solos in two other pieces,
none of the musicwas improvised. Instead, it was
composed by pianist Patricelli and serves as a showcase
for the brilliant interaction of two instruments
treated as equals by a pair of virtuoso musicians. Thus,
the drums do not play an accompaniment role, but
rather share the spotlight with the piano throughout.
According to the duo's website, each piece is devoted
to some aspect of the drums' technical or expressive
possibilities. For example, Patricelli entitled one track
"Paradiddle Rondo" and another "Double Hi-Hat Etude."
Most of the performances brim over with rhythmic
vitality, although "Elegia," as its title suggests, projects a
more lyrical quality. And "In Forma Di Lied," in ABA song
form, contrasts its dashing A sections with a quieter B.
Altogether, the program is varied and, due especially
to its novel nature, quite fascinating, as well as being
musically satisfying. The ensemble is tight and cohesive,
its members playing together with remarkable
precision.
