Invisible Cities
Invisible Cities brings two
generations of improvisers together in their first duo recording...a tour de force of
improvisational intimacy. The recording
features Perry Robinson, who almost single handedly kept the jazz clarinet tradition
throughout the 1960s-80s, and Steve Swell, New York City’s young keeper of the jazz
trombone flame. On Invisible Cities Swell and Perry speak a language that those
outside their realm of understanding and knowing rarely experience…a language that
expands the Art of the Duet.
The
title is an homage to Italo Calvino's great 20th century novel, Le Citè Invisibili,
in which the Kublai Khan realizes that the many tales Marco Polo has spun about many
wondrous cities are, in fact, all about the same city. Calvino wrote about a world
where fantasy, reality, and philosophy became intermingled and inseparable with no past
and no future. On Invisible Cities, Swell and Robinson, like Calvino,
create a musical world where influence, genre, style, and tradition meld in the creation
of a new musical reality with no past and no future.
