about

....brief allusions (to melody) surface during a stream of highly abstracted but focused give and take. Even though recorded over a two-year period, there is no discernible difference in the commitment to a totally improvised approach, using whatever tools and techniques they need to make the exchange work. Not only do they transcend the conventional range of their instruments, but also their traditional roles in a display of mercurial interplay and shifting moods. In a meeting of minds, both men demonstrate a keen appreciation of light and shade - they know when to affirm and when to counter.
Stephens is spiky, energetic and springy, inventive with the bow, veering from the abrasive to the querulous and even the percussive while on clarinets, Gjerstad essays a cascade of barking fragments, though on occasion breathily diaphanous, at the other extreme he deploys split tones and a vocalized edge - John Sharpe - NYCJazz Record
