THE WAY UP - LIVE

This is extreme jazz. A four part suite built on motifs which repeat throughout the composition. The playing is quite phenomenal with all the intricate nuances which pervade the nature of this type of music. Pat and Lyle always wanted to explore music as language and convey the idea of poetry through sound. In this realm they achieved their goals. It not only explores deep musical emotion, it gets right to the heart of what music really means. They wanted to go up and this is their way. The title says it all. The DVD was filmed in South Korea and the musicianship is absolutely superb. This is highly recommended for anyone who believes in music as a vehicle for contemplation of beauty.
