Deuce

A rich mix of duets between Hans Teuber/ts-as-fl and bassist Jeff Johnson make for a rich of space and lyricism. The collection of originals and standards keeps the interest level high, as the team's "Hopi Dream" is a gorgeously wide spacious work of flute and bass that strikes up images of Monument Valley, while Johnson's fingerwork lays down a hip lick for Teurber's tenor on " Hot Rod." Some rich bowing lays down a rice pilaf on "What's New" and Teuber sighs with delight on a gorgeous "What's New." The two save the best for last on a harrowing read of "You've Changed" demonstrating that silence can be a sound. Recommended!
