Jazz
Great stuff, a rare meeting between Argentine tenor player Gato Barbieri and South African pianist Dollar Brand, a true global meeting of the jazz minds and a recording that's stronger than most of the work either player was recording at the time! The format is incredibly spare, just tenor and piano, plus some occasional cello work by Brand dark and angular, but also filled with small flowers of hope, flowering in the spontaneous presence of these two great minds. Tracks are long, with a free flowing quality that's infused with soul, spirit and titles include "Hamba Khale", "Wildrose", and "To Elsa".

Gato Barbieri is most known for composing the soundtrack to Last Tango In Paris, but this album is way out in it's own kind of way. Duets with Dollar Brand on piano and cello yield a high energy yet classy fest for the ears. A success!
