Description
It's been said on quite a few occasions after concerts of this duo, that it sounds as though there's a real affinity within the playing. This comes through very much so in their new recording "All There Is". Within it they use the full spectrum of dynamics and techniques that have been developed individually over their differing careers. Watts' roots go back to the very beginnings of improvised music as a founder member of the SME in the 1960's and Stephen Grew has been part of the Improvised Music scene since 1994 and has played consistently on the national and international circuit, both as a soloist and in numerous collaborations.
"Together Grew and Watts invite us for some lively and inspired conversations. Watts is in great shape, and plays with verve. And Grew also. And albums of improvised music are in the end only satisfying when there is an equal reciprocal understanding, musicality and communication. And this is absolutely the case in their sometimes exuberant and intense interplay. A joy." - VITAL WEEKLY
