what the critics say.. Another disc which combines the compositions of Bach and Beatles, with the latter being far more in the majority (three against ten tunes). The chamber jazz duo, performing on guitar and clarinet and the rare basset clarinet, make a remarkable choice of some oft-covered songs, Sgt.Pepper tunes and the give-away World Without Love. The clarinet and solo guitar playing and improvisations take turns in playing the leading role to lengthy, inspiring renditions (up until a 6:45 min version of I'm So tired). When the clear, playful sound of clarinet leads, the guitar accompanies with chords playing or guitar picking. New melodies introduce the original melody and there's often enough room left for either of the instuments to take a musical trip that leaves the original melody line far behind, which may disturb purists but that's what jazz is about...
