Elisabet Raspall, Chris Cheek - El Petó - The Kiss (2012)

“Elisabet Raspall and Chris Cheek officially present the repertoire of their new collaboration, El Petó – The Kiss. The Catalan pianist and composer and the American saxophonist thus culminate a long musical relationship that has already given fruit to evocative recordings like Triangles and Plujazz, which the duet now offers in its most essential and intimate format. A date that invites you to taste the compositional elegance of Raspall’s pieces, always between sleep and awake, and the interpretative richness of Cheek, one of the great musicians that emerged during the ’90s and regular sideman of the best modern jazz musicians like Bill Frisell, Kurt Rosenwinkel, Brad Mehldau, and the late Paul Motian.”
