The list of names of artists with whom jazz pianist and composer Harmen Fraanje (b. 1976) has collaborated since the beginning of this century reads like a who's who of contemporary jazz and other music. From Ambrose Akinmusire to Eric Vloeimans and from fado singer Cristina Branco to filmmaker Werner Herzog. The string of musical projects he (co)leads is almost as impressive. The same applies to… Norwegian trumpeter Arve Henriksen (1968) - with musical partners such as Nils Petter Molvær, David Sylvian and John Paul Jones -. So quite a lot of experience comes together when the two men join forces. That happened for the first time in 2019, at the Transition Festival in Utrecht. During their improvised set, it clicked so well that they decided to continue the collaboration. The result can be heard on this first duo album, which appears on the ECM label and contains both improvised and composed pieces. Spatial, (very) introverted and generally short, these are. With the exception of the nearly nine-minute Redream, one of three pieces composed by Fraanje. Immediately the highlight on Touch Of Time. (RME)more
