Tsktsking

VINYL FORMAT. "Dancing Wayang Records are excited to release the first duo album by London-based double bassist John Edwards and US drummer extraordinaire Chris Corsano called Tsktsking. The album was recorded at Eastcote Studios, London in December 2008. Limited to 500 copies it comes housed in hand screenprinted wrap-around sleeves. The accompanying insert features exclusive and very funny liner notes written by UK sax pioneer Evan Parker. Defying the drum and bass's classic roles as rhythm instruments, Edwards and Corsano's Tsktsking is a beautifully melodic album. At times Corsano's drumset sounds like it's got strings whilst Edwards's double bass takes its fair share of scrapes and slaps. Extended passages explore the most subtle and some unexpected sounds that can be summoned from metal and timber. Equally, possessed progressions and untamed eruptions of energy and power are conjured up. These two musicians prey and pounce on their instruments like it's their last chance before a long drought."
