  • Description

    The word 'unique' can be thrown around far too casually in a jazz industry looking around for the next bright young hope. It's not only those making the right noises outside of music making that are creating something that stands out from the crowd though. The fiercely independent 32-year-old tenor saxophonist Mark Hanslip is one such musician. His distinctively wry, conversational approach and molasses-thick, dark-hued, rich tone is one of the most easily recognizable of sax voices on the current scene. His partner on this debut duo recording Dosados on the Babel label, is the young Barcelona, formerly London-based drummer/percussionist Javier Carmona, one of the movers and shakers in the UK free improv field. Carmona's forceful rhythmic energy on Dosados attests to his having played in underground rock bands in Madrid as well as jazz.

    On Dosados, from gently intimate dialogue and avant-ambient mantras the duo heat up to climaxes of darting chattering energy and thrilling moments of quivering tension. Guardian critic John Fordham says as much: "The erudition and resourcefulness of both players gives this ostensibly austere session a rare eventfulness."
