Barry Green & Dave Green: Turn Left at Monday – review

Barry and Dave Green offer 11 delicate improvisations to savour, writes Dave Gelly
  
  


No, they're not related, although pianist Barry and bassist Dave Green play together as though they were. You really need to be sitting down quietly to savour this set of 11 delicate improvisations on under-the-radar songs. Five of them, including the title piece, which is recorded here for the first time, are by the late Alec Wilder, the archetypal composer's composer. This kind of chamber jazz depends for its effect on sketching in elusive harmonies and keeping you hanging on as they unfold. It also keeps your ears busy while the rest of you relaxes.
