Inspired, often off-the-cuff stuff from two musicians whose pairing, unlikely on paper, makes perfect sense on a debut that deftly combines just-so minimalism with dizzying flights of fancy. Brighton-based Wilson is a classically-trained composer and multi-instrumentalist whose PhD studies at SOAS involve researching Indian karnatic classical music, and whose oeuvre – which includes a much-praised solo record, Bhooma – is marked by a questing spirituality. Hussain, a Rochdale resident, is an award-winning tabla virtuoso with technical versatility and an inventive streak nurtured by studies with legendary elders including Ustad Alla Rakha, a frequent accompanist of Ravi Shankar. Masters, then, of their instruments, Hussain and Wilson have spent several months playing live, dazzling the likes of St Paul's Cathedral and New York's Lincoln Center with their creative flow and empathetic exchanges, examples of which are bottled here. Opener ‘Azar’ is a trippy, rhythmic joust boasting five different time cycles and a cornucopia of everything from Persian melodies to baroque counterpoint, all of it buoyed by a seven-note jazz riff on piano. Each track is similarly imaginative: based on a traditional tabla solo in a seven-beat time cycle, ‘Carneline’ incorporates a central repeated piano pattern over which Wilson magics bright freeform improvisations. Refreshment for the ears.
