KEPACH Music S.r.l./Cam Jazz: CAMJ 7864-5 http://www.camjazz.com/8052405140968-only-many-cd.html  * Ralph Alessi: trumpet * Fred Hersch: piano http://www.ralphalessi.com/ http://www.fredhersch.com/ Recorded in New York City on June 17, 2011 and May 17, 2012 at Dolan Recording Studios/NYU Steinhardt School. Reviews By Stef http://www.freejazzblog.org/2013/08/trumpet-and-piano.html [...] Two other absolute masters of progressive jazz are Ralph Alessi on trumpet and Fred Hersch on piano. After having played together for many years, they release their first duo album, bringing a set of fourteen tracks, of which two covers, Thelonius Monk’s "San Francisco Holiday" and Paul Motian’s "Blue Midnight". Alessi and Hersch have a kind of natural musical fit, both being extremely gifted on their instruments and with an exceptional ear for interplay, with lots of reverence for jazz tradition while pushing this heritage into today's context without pushing it too far. Their music remains accessible to wide audiences - although that's also relative. It would be too easy to categorise the music on the album as romantic ballads - which they are essence - but both musicians are way too clever not to make this interchange captivating and interesting, developing the themes and structures into sensitive improvisations, full of melancholy beauty, and sometimes even adding some fun into the process, like on "Some Digging In The Ground", or on the playful Monk composition.
