A wonderful little record from pianist Joanne Brackeen unlike anything the artist ever recorded, as it's just a set of duets with guitarist Ryo Kawasaki, who brings in some really beautiful elements to the mix! Ryo plays an acoustic nylon string guitar, but with a dexterity that most other players would use on electric and the balance of his instrument with Brackeen's piano is sublime full of colors and imaginative tones, but also a fair degree of rhythmic impulses too which guide the duo in ways that are completely refreshing throughout! 

And yes, Ryo could be slick on other records, but he's definitely not here and instead finds a special space alongside those choppy blocks of sound that Joanne plays so well. Titles include a great reading of Kawasaki's "Trinkets & Things" plus "Shadowbrook Air", "Spring Of Things", "Fair Weather", "Whim Within", and "Winnie & Woodstock". © 1996-2016, Dusty Groove, Inc.https://www.dustygroove.com/item/764023
