Description
This second SLAM CD by Nikolas Skordas, the first was 'Ships and Shepherds' with Alex Maguire (SLAMCD582) features him with fellow original improviser Alexandros Aivaliotis, creating an intriguing and beautiful combination of textures and voices from a mixture of international cultures.
Nikolas and Alexandros write: "The musical interaction between the mellow, inner, simple sound of the Japanese vertical flute, the shakuhachi, and the sharp, but also sweet sound of the soprano saxophone, the most wildcat of the sax family, creates an untold journey to unconventional places and times of the human experience."
Personnel: Nikolas Skordas (soprano saxophone, tarogato, traditional flutes), Alexandros Aivaliotis (shakuhachi, hocchicu) with guest Sophia Koroxenou (voice, track 12)
