Two saxophonists, Chris Biscoe and Allison Neale, revisit the music of Gerry Mulligan and Paul Desmond. The baritone-and-alto interplay of this classic late 50s-early 60s partnership had the rare distinction of being both clever and tuneful, with touches of wit. The trouble was, they only made two albums together. Now, with perfect rapport, and a positively uncanny grasp of this elusive idiom, Biscoe and Neale have come up with more, including two Biscoe originals. Dave Gelly, The Observer …..this is a band with a fantastic level of understanding between its members, giving the music a lovely conversational quality, in the manner of the original albums. Like good conversation, there was no telling in which direction the talk may lead: you just had to keep listening lest you miss anything on the way. Trevor Bannister – Jazz in Reading
Allison Neale, alto saxophone, and Chris Biscoe, baritone saxophone, have all the makings of a classic duo, producing originals with instinctive fluency that gel seamlessly with late-50s inspiration. The Musician
