Description

It was during a week of residency of tenor saxophonist Bill McHenry at the famous "Village Vanguard" that Max Koslow was struck by a particular partnership, enough to jump into a venture where he had no experience: recordings.
The duo in question was McHenry with master percussionist Andrew Cyrille (Drums) - the chemistry between the pair was palpable and the music magical. Koslow knew that this magic had to be preserved and approached both musicians to see if they would allow him to record them together. This album was recorded over two days in November 2014. The recording features pieces written and improvised by the duo as well as tunes written by Cyrille's peers Don Moye and Muhal Richard Abrams. The approach to the music was relaxed and fluid, with both musicians finding their inspiration in each other's voice.
