Album Notes
Personnel: Elton Dean (saxophone); Mark Hewins (guitar).
Recorded at the London Jazz Cafe, London, England in 1992.
This series of sometimes stunningly beautiful, occasionally revelatory improvisations finds the avant-garde reedsman Elton Dean and the guitarist Mark Hewins in perfect sync, as Dean solos lyrically over the musical foundation of Hewins's atmospheric synthesized guitar. Recorded in the early 1990s, the duo spans electronic, jazz and ambient genres, in a free-form yet never formless set.
Industry Reviews
...Hewins crafts continually morphing soundscapres, drones and largely static harmonic patterns....pacific and new agey enough to double as mediation music...
JazzTimes (04/01/2002)
...Hewin's synth guitar creates an environment laden with artifice, but the gamble paid off. Dean pursues his lyrical inclinations to the verge of contemplative blowing....lovely moments occur regularly throughout the 3 pieces...
