BLOOM

On the stunning duo release Bloom, guitarist Ben Monder and saxophonist Bill McHenry boldly exhibit total simpatico, complete trust in each other, and the ability to thoroughly listen to each other to bring forth a true work of musical art. On ten tracks they take the listener to a spectacular soundworld of textural chords, evocative percussive effects, spontaneously created melodies, and deep musical telepathy. Together, Monder and McHenry navigate through a sea of melodic complexity, in a number of rhythmic and harmonic contexts toward a bold, new vista of twenty first century improvisation.
