Chroniques :
I must admit I was confused by the name of this particular saxophone duo when I saw them in concert a couple of weeks ago as part of Pascal Marzan’s R de Choc series of concerts at the Espace Jemappes here in Paris, « relentless » being an adjective I’d associate with Paul Flaherty or Hijokaidan rather than with Sébastien Branche and Artur Vidal’s elegant, supple post-nmperign improvisation. But the two tracks on their self-produced debut CD (see URL above) live up to the name well, with plenty of circular breathing and extraneous objects – cups, metal plates – placed on and in the horns, often giving the illusion that we’re listening to a trio or even a quartet. Neither of the two tracks, lasting respectively 18 and ten minutes, overstays its welcome, which is just as well: 40+ minutes of this stuff could probably try the patience. But I look forward to hearing more of the duo’s more spacious, pared-down work on future releases.–DW www.paristransatlantic.com (Feb 2010)
