Miller, Vladimir/Steve Plews - What Haven't You Had?
SKU
SLAM260
Vladimir Miller and Steve Plews piano - Some of the music in this series of duets and solos is scored but much of it is improvised; the artists acknowledge influences of Bartok, Rachmaninov, Keith Tippett, Jaki Byard amongst others. The result is a fascinating collection of post-modern romanticism at once Lennox Berkeley and Bill Evans. The recordings, made in front of a live audience, capture the atmosphere of a memorable performance. With the percussive intricacy of Millers style warmly enveloped by the rhapsodic technique of pianist Steve Plews, the music varies from quiet introspection to a tour de force of compositional and improvisational virtuosity.
