Description
This perfect coupling, this musical marriage with its velvety vocals and its pianistic perfection, is a rare delicacy. It is an album filled with melodious and harmonious manoeuvre,
implemented with skill and with grace. Marilena Paradisi conveys raw emotion through her
impressive vocal range; she scats, she soars, her voice as much an instrument as Kirk Lightsey's all-encompassing piano. The overall sound is so much fuller than you might expect
from a duo, with Kirk's progressive harmonic range and quality of touch often presenting an orchestral-sounding accompaniment. But it is the intimacy of the interplay that most impresses. You feel that they are playing - for you! Italian-born Marilena has been active on the international jazz scene since 1994, with an abundance of recording, concert and master class credits - at the very highest level.
American-born Kirk is the consummate maestro. His credit list is of the finest pedigree and includes five albums with Chet Baker - oh, and he also happened to tour with Dexter Gordon from 1979-1983.
