Pianist Myra Melford and percussionist Han Bennink splash about in blues and — of all things! — the blandly iconic "Maple Leaf Rag," as well as in their own, allusion-free interactions, in such a way as to give postmodernist importation the very best possible name. In a word, they’re that good. Give it a listen and don't be put off by any mental images of free or rambling avant garde jazz. This album is very accessable. Give it a fair hearing, and see what you think. Many of these type of jazz albums are discounted by critics, because they do not conform to certain structures, and are inclined to "go off at a tangent." Myra Melford's percussive melodies, highlighted by Bennink's jovial sonic booms make this recording most enjoyable. Lots of fun (2, 7, 8, 11) and some serious noise (5). Bennink does spectacular drumming alone on 3. The two converse very well as they explore all elments of the music. An excellent jazz album.
