Recorded live at the Europa Jazz Festival in Le Mans in April, 2005, this is the second CD in the Leo Records catalogue by the duo of Lauren Newton and Joelle Leandre. The two women use their voices as experimental instruments, with Joelle Léandre’s bass acting as a third voice.

Laura Newton: "I am always intrigued with our work together as we continuously challenge each other to go deeper into ourselves, directly into the music of the moment."

Reviews

Jazzwise - Daniel Spicer

They've been playing together for 10 years and this live recording sees them producing nine untitled, spontaneous "sound stories", with a consumate ease that belies the hugh riskes they take on stage. It's the effortless interplay between them that really impresses. ***

Jazz Review - Philip Clark

Abstract improvisations mostly reveal their humane side through an underlying sense of theatre. Knock-out brilliant.
