Tony Pancella and Larry Willis: Alter Ego |
| Detailed Description |
|
All About Jazz describes: "This set seems to be a hymn to the rhapsodic as two virtuosos play a handful of tunes that lend themselves to lush, melodic interplay..." Alter Ego pairs two legendary Fazioli pianos with two extraordinary pianists and, between them, a breathtaking singleness of groove and invention. Like no other great American jazz pianist today, Larry Willis' playing moves people's hearts and feet. Tony Pancella has the same status in Italy. And he's one of Larry's most creative disciples, showing his mastery of gorgeous Impressionist harmonies. That's what makes their longstanding twosome so telepathically tight. Sonically, this album is the only piano duo ever recorded with just two mikes. That makes the timbres and attack of each note incomparably pure. The huge soundstage puts you right between the two pianos. Even better, you get to hear the ultra-rare, legendary 11 foot Fazioli mega-grand. "...the music can be delicate and lovely, and it can be intensely swinging...there are plenty of other moments that will bring joy to jazz piano fans," recommends Jazz Times.
