The duo formed in 2018, although both musicians have collaborated on various projects since the late 1980s. Currently they are also present in the recent Lunatiks quartet by Francesco D'Auria. The concert follows the line that from Monk leads to Steve Lacy, with ample spaces left to improvisation and short dialogues between the saxophone and the pianist's voice who proposes some short texts by American poets (Simic, Strand, Bukowski) linked to the character of the music pieces. A concert-performance in freedom, in a multicolored narrative flow between music and words.
