A dialogue between deep and conscious sensibilities.

An exploration into the extreme resources of the two instruments, led among extraordinarily mobile and varied tonal colours. A chase without quarter through the spaces of the linguistic imagination of contemporary jazz. Improvisation which becomes an accurate structure in the hands of the two musicians who, with a total poetic compatibility, have been crossing paths for quite a time.

In this perfect work, Achille Succi and Salvatore Maiore reach an extremely high symbiotic quality, moving in the most complete liberty, even when they choose to rest on more well-trodden grounds, perhaps to pay a surprising tribute to the great Pixinguinha, one of the central figures of twentieth century Brazilian popular music. — Giorgio Signoretti

Succi is always a melodic player

and hence even his free improvisations contain motivic phrases that help create a structure. Indeed, the strength of the music lies in the structure that supports these twelve striking miniatures. […] Fabulous music that will entrance for every single second of its forty-four minutes. — Budd Kopman, All About Jazz – 6.5.2007 | www.allaboutjazz.com
