Duo Dram Lalala Koncert
PRIVATE EDITION
By Adam Baruch
This is an album by Polish duo Duo Dram, which pairs pianists/composers Sławomir Jaskułke and Piotr Wyleżoł. Recorded live, the album presents five original compositions (three by Jaskułke and two by Wyleżoł) and one composition by Kenny Wheeler, all performed on two pianos.
It is very difficult to relate
to this music within the Jazz framework, and the fact that both pianists are
primarily known as Jazz artists, makes it is even more difficult to pinpoint
exactly what this music is all about. The melodic themes are repeated and
swapped between the pianists back and forth, there are lots of chords and notes
in the air, swirling like snowflakes in the wind, but once the flakes land on
the ground nothing remains in the air…
Somehow this music does not
touch me at all, sounding like a New Age effort of producing soothing
background music rather than anything that one can hold to. Of course Jaskułke
and Wyleżoł are both superb piano players, as evident from their numerous other
recordings, but this effort simply does not take off as far as I am concerned. Of course I suppose many other
listeners might enjoy this music immensely, therefore I urge fans of Jaskułke
and Wyleżoł to listen to it by themselves and make their own minds.
