This strong outing matches together
Jane Bunnett on soprano and flute and the great pianist
Don Pullen. The adventurous music holds on to the tradition of chordal improvisation yet is also quite free in spots.
Pullen's rhythmic playing makes his solos seem more accessible and traditional than they really were and it is to
Bunnett's great credit that she keeps up with him. In addition to six of their originals, the duo performs a pair of complex
Thelonious Monk songs ("Bye-Ya" and "Little Rootie Tootie") and a Cuban theme "For Merceditas." Thought-provoking and unpredictable music.
