A dialogue between deep and conscious sensibilities.
An exploration into the extreme resources of the two instruments, led among extraordinarily mobile and varied tonal colours. A chase without quarter through the spaces of the linguistic imagination of contemporary jazz. Improvisation which becomes an accurate structure in the hands of the two musicians who, with a total poetic compatibility, have been crossing paths for quite a time.

In this perfect work, Achille Succi and Salvatore Maiore reach an extremely high symbiotic quality, moving in the most complete liberty, even when they choose to rest on more well-trodden grounds, perhaps to pay a surprising tribute to the great Pixinguinha, one of the central figures of twentieth century Brazilian popular music.
