Halvorson, Mary and Weasel Walter - Opulence
SKU
UGEXPLODE 026
"A first time meeting between East Coast guitar diva Mary Halvorson and West Coast drumming iconoclast Weasel Walter! 8 tracks of totally telepathic improvisation you might swear was written and rehearsed. This is the sound of a higher form of musical communication - profound, rocking and funny all at the same time! Recorded live to multi-track tape at John Zorn's club The Stone in New York City in February 2007, this killer release features stunning, highly-charged duets between these two rising giants of new music. Fast-moving, varied, communicative, humorous and precise, this album kicks ass as well as it feeds heads. While touching on idioms as diverse as Jazz, Black Metal, Prog and beyond the spontaneous music made by this unexpected pairing of virtuosos defies true classification. It is energetic, detailed, dynamic and full of constant surprise and transformation."
