  • Description

    Elton Dean (alto saxophone, saxello), Howard Riley (piano). Tracks 1-6 recorded at London Jazz Festival 20 May 1993, tracks 7-8 recorded at the Holywell Music Room Oxford, 29 Jan 1999.

    "Confirm the stature of this inspired duo. The astringent tone of Dean's saxello and pianist Riley's rugged chording transform the character of Bill Evans's 'Turn Out The Stars' and the standard 'Darn That Dream'. For Coltrane's 'Crescent', Dean switches to alto. Five totally improvised duets display comparable wealth of experience, skill and musical intelligence." - The Wire

    "Excellent album...titles such as Comprehension, Shared Confidence and Duopoly take the form of total improvisational interactions. These tax the participants to the full but the response by both musicians is exemplary. The same is true of the Oxford items and One to One comes over as one of those special moments when two men seem to hit a creative peak for the full length of a shared experience." - Barry McRae, Jazz Journal

    "Howard Riley and Elton Dean are, let's face it, national treasures... Two master musicians at play." - Rubberneck
