FORGET TEA LEAF CREEPS "Live in Rhodesia" part 2:



"Don't take pork on the Old Pali Road
And don't take pork on the King's Highway
Doing so will anger the Fire God Pele
And doing so will anger (the Pig God) Kamapuaa

If you must carry pork on Old Pali Road
Or if you must carry pork on the King's Highway
Wrap the pork in ti leaf or bamboo
Or wrap the pork in banana leaf to shield your taboo"

(lyrics by Edgar Um Bucholtz, 2010)

"Playing together since 1986, Jack Wright (alto & soprano saxophone, contra-alto clarinet) and Bob Marsh (cello, violin and processed voice) really convey how theirs is an "improvisational music that reflects and celebrates the mutual dependence of the players", to quote the liner notes (of their Birds in the Hand CD release.) There's an almost physical feel of strict interplay between the instruments, though in a realm of sonic cubism, with broken lines, abrupt changes and jigsaw dialogues; and the key word must be joy, the joy of creative jamming bewteen two long-time friends. Something clearly audible even if you're not a jazz expert." - Eugenio Maggi
