Pianist Irene Schweizer continues her string of superior duets with drummers in
this spirited meeting with Joey Baron. Their chemistry is immediate and
deep. They can’t seem to resist chiming in when one of them plays something
that pleases the other – and they delight each other constantly for nearly an
hour. They are so eager to connect and they put so much life and commitment
into every piano note and drum sound that the music fairly jumps with joy. Each
of the album’s seven improvisations is distinctive, but all possess a giddy,
barriers-down sense of freedom that allows them to go in any direction. “Free
for All” moves in and out of atonal disquietude, out-of-tempo pensiveness, and
rollicking gospel jazz. “Up the Ladder” begins with disjointed drum patterns
and piano lines that zip and dart in different directions and ends up with a
boogie-woogie. Schweizer plays inside the piano on “String Fever,” with
twinkling lines that lurch this way and that like a tipsy harpsichord; Baron
enshrouds everything in cymbal washes and pokes and prods with snare and
tom-tom and bass drum. “Blues for Crelier” rolls along over a South African
groove, while “The Open Window” is a tap-dancing waltz. Their vocabulary is
utterly modern, but there’s something eternal about their grace and swing.
