Bactrian

The partnership of bass masters Friesen and Moore would seem destined to elicit one of two opposing reactions: (1) two bass players and nothing for variety / melody for half of the recording? Even given the half when one or the other slips over to the piano, that's a awful lot of bass! (2) two of the most inventive and accomplished bassists and we'll get the chance to focus on their individual and combined compositions and interactions - what better pairing could one find to experience the richness of expression they will offer? Take the opportunity or, if you are skeptical, the risk. There is great beauty, some free form interaction, and some novel interpretations, like "Summer Time" or "Caravan" as bass duets, on offer.
