Keys And Skins

An encounter between two of the most open and imaginative musical minds today.

"One way of understanding Keys And Skins is as soundscape. It can also be heard as a stunning demonstration of spontaneous creativity. That jazz musicians improvise is a given. That their music is sometimes entirely improvised is known. Yet it is startling to hear Baron say, 'Antonello and I met at the session. It was very direct, very simple. We didn't really talk about anything. We just shook hands and went in and they pushed the button. On a head nod, we just started'." (Thomas Conrad)
