Exceptionally well-conceived and flawlessly executed, Garland and Rebello have come up with nine original compositions between them, plus the folk ballad ‘Black Is The Colour Of My True Love's Hair’ (which Garland performs on bass clarinet), that re-conceptualise the duo context in jazz. The exposition of each original composition is orchestrated in a way that often sounds more than two voices, and on occasion a closely voiced piano chord with Garland's sax evokes the sound of an old polyphonic synth. The duality of the written and the improvised is powerfully exploited, though contrast or blurring the distinction between the two so that the written seamlessly gives way to the improvised and vice versa. Equally, as in ‘One Morning’ the two voices join in collective improvisation to sound like one voice as they weave and intertwine. In many ways, this album is not so much about individual tracks as their culminative effect, each a way station along the path of overall narrative arc that seems to be in a constant state of becoming.
