Enrique Norris & Paula Shocron: Sono-Psico-Cosmica

The tradition of piano duets is brought into the 21st Century by Argentines Enrique Norris and Paula Shocron. They both have rich, classical touches, but meld them with post-bop sensibilities. They combine jazz standards with their own compositions to rich rewards, as their own “El Grillo Cosmico” ranges from stride to interactive classical and occasional clutter. Most clever is Norris bringing his warm cornet to the atmosphere, serenading with the silent spaces on”La Puerta R” and going explorative on”Paisajes Urbanos.” “Monk’s Dream” is a conversational delight, and the “The Single Petal Of A Rose” by duet pioneers Ellington and Strayhorn is stately and respectful, whereas Shocron’s own “Dos Mundos” is a impassioned improvisation. Lots of rewarding interplay.
