Han Bennink & Dave Douglas Serpentine (SGL 1510-2) The great and zany Dutch percusussionist and the versatile, thoughtful New York trumpeter meet in a program of standards, original compositions, and improvised duets and solos, including “seven fully realized performances whose starkness throws Douglas' virtuosity into bold relief... On this year's A-list.” (Francis Davis, FI) “Bennink is a paradox, anarchist and hard-core swinger... A fine CD.” —Kevin Whitehead, Pulse! *** “Makes sense, given their shared love of older jazz values (deep swing, huge timbral palette, doing whatever it takes) as well as free music's open interactivity. One taste and the ballots are in: Great idea!” —John Corbett, Pulse!
