Keith Tippett - Giovanni Maier – Two For Joyce (Long Song Records 2013)
“Two for Joyce – Live in Trieste”, a new cd from Long Song
Records/Audioglobe is the successful account of their performance. 50
minutes of improvised music, a long track of music that shows the vast
range of their abilities wonderfully. According to some, Tippett gives
his best both alone and in a duo, which is not to diminish his excellent
work to date in many ensembles. He is a profound and inventive pianist,
austere and grandiose at the same time, as when there’s a waterfall of
notes and sounds that only he can create. Pay close attention to his
“preparations” on the piano which find an ideal parter in Maier. Long Song Records
