Mark Buselli & Claude Sifferlen - Take The Mitsu (2003)

Exploring the deep musical relationship developed over 5 years of performances at the Indianapolis club, Chatterbox, flugelhornist Mark Buselli and pianist Claude Sifferlin combine dynamic textures of colorful harmonies & enticing melodies for a duo album of great beauty. Named in honor and in spirit of the Japanese composer Toru Takemitsu, the duo decided to record with nothing laid out in advance. Other than the American classics, My Ideal, Stablemates, and The Nearness of You cast in new shades, all the other pieces of music are experimental in nature and were totally improvised.
