Some aficionados might say that there’s nothing more terrifying in improvised music than two electric guitarists playing together —- all those fingers and twang-a-lang. But others may say any two of the same instrument are a lot to handle for any listener. Imagine two drummers, two pianists, indeed two of anything; all that furrowed intent... with all those fingers.
Well, Sandy Ewen and Arthur Bull manage the job with such skill and aplomb that it’s very clear they had a great time, enjoying the journey. Indeed, to this listener’s ears, they have sprung a wholly different form of the proverbial insect music; one working with attack, density and intensity in a refreshingly dangerous urban way. Lots of ears working with full-on skullduggery.
But, hang on, that is not all: smacking drum beats, rudely preposterous, interweave, and trombone sounds, made for the gods, swoop to offer salvation.
It all sounds very alive to the moment; really enough to keep any listener with a grain of salt in their ears happily away from the brink... if only, the world being the way it is...
[Critchfield]
