Out today, DUETS, by Mike Harmon and Paul Bedal. Available now via Bandcamp on streaming and digital download!
In Duets, bassist Mike Harmon and pianist Paul Bedal offer a vulnerable and exposed set of music compiled from two afternoon sessions, captured in high-fidelity stereo at Ken Christianson's ProMusica in Chicago. The first session occurred in October of 2020 and was some of the first in-person playing the two had done since a forced break due to the Covid pandemic. This resulted in a vivid and serenely caught moment in time, one of deep listening and a felt desire of the musicians' need to communicate the surreal circumstances and their return to the craft.
