This is one of those recordings which is very good indeed but which is so low-key in the way it presents itself that it may not get the attention it deserves. Please join me in preventing this. If you care for Latin stuff at all and/or enjoy musical ingenuity, do buy this. ROGER THOMAS, �Jazz Review� March 2003

TREDAVOE BLUE

SLAMCD312
|
|
George Haslam baritone sax, tarogato, clarinet; Richard Leigh Harris piano. Six duo improvisations and 'Goodbye Pork-Pie Hat' are included in Haslam's latest sax/piano duo recording with contemporary pianist/composer Harris. The two have worked together since the late 1980s in lineups from duo to the larger groups of 'Raucustra' and 'Meltdown'
|
|
A masterful piece of improvised music. They tackle Goodbye Pork Pie Hat with a certain amount of reverence for both the composer and dedicatee and it is pleasing to hear the baritone lingering over the poignant melody and reminding us that no matter many times we�ve heard it we can still be moved by it. This short track, 5 minutes long, restrained and elegiac, is as near perfect a reading as any I�ve come across. Robert Spencer 'Cadence' September 2001

Travels with my Tarogato' George Haslam. Haslam back in Buenos Aires (Dec.1998) with some old pals - Mono Hurtado, Ruben Ferrero etc. plus new talent such as Marcelo Jeremias and Fabian Tejada, another voice to be heard is the Argentine soprano saxist Pablo Ledesma. For this third volume Haslam leaves his baritone sax and concentrates on his second instrument, the Hungarian tarogato - a sort of wooden soprano sax. The CD comprises 3 tracks in duo with Hurtado, a beautiful trio with Jeremias keyboards and Tejada on Udu drums, a duo with percussionist Monito Viera and an extended quintet improvisation with Ledesma, Ferrero, Hurtado and drummer Luis de la Torre. George Haslam bari sx, tgto.
