Kaiser, Henry / Scott Amendola - Leaps CD
SKU
Fractal Music 2015-1
Nice album of guitar / drum duets from two fine players. Henry gets to have fun being himself, pulling wild noises out of the guitar, and he and Scott communicate together nicely!
"Leaps is an album of dramatic and colorful duo improvisations. Whether it’s the moody western slow wallow of “Door In The Light”, the patient and exploratory “Blinks and Blinks”, the quirky, popish, oddness of “The 14 Animals That Will Haunt Your Dreams”, or the “blues” influenced “Sproing”, we have found something special here. Don’t tread lightly…just leap right in. This first collaborative recording by two quirky and original masters of their instruments was recorded in an afternoon, and dramatically surprised both players, who had only performed together in larger groupings on a few rare occasions."
"The generosity of Henry Kaiser is how this album came to be. I was running a pledge campaign to raise money for my orchestral recording and Henry suggested we make a duo record in my studio as a special offer for pledgers. Well what happened that day was pure magic, and voile! we have “LEAPS!” “Leaps” is an album of improvised composition. Whether it’s the moody western slow wallow of “Door In The Light”, the patient and exploratory “Blinks and Blinks”, the quirky, popish, oddness of “The 14 Animals That Will Haunt Your Dreams”, or the “blues” influenced “Sproing”, We have found something special here. Don’t tread lightly…just leap right in."-Scott Amendola
