Artist: AARON DUGAN/JEFF ARNAL Title: Dog Day Label: C3R 13 Country: Canada Format: CD Status: AVAILABLE $12.00
Description: [Special limited time price!] Featuring Aaron Dugan on guitar and Jeff Arnel on drums. I can't tell you much about guitarist, Aaron Dugan, except that he is Matisyahu's band (Hasidic reggae star) and has a duo disc with local drummer Mike Pride. Jeff Arnel is one of the better improvising drummers in NY nowadays and has a dozen great discs with Dietrich Eichmann, Gordon Beeferman, Dan DeChellis, Blaise Siwula, Nate Wooley and Reuben Radding. This duo is hooked up! There is strong balance and powerful flow of ideas back and forth. Free rock/jazz?!? No matter what you might call it, these cats are listening and responding quickly and tightly. It is cool to hear Jeff's drums as the lead instrument on a few of these pieces. Jeff plays brushes on "Trickum Shoals" and sets up the swinging sort of groove for Aaron to respond to with a minimum of notes placed just right. Jeff does a good job of bowing or rubbing his cymbal on "Pisco", a rather eerie piece with a minimum of notes used. Each piece involves different structures or textures or combinations of sounds. Some are very short, under 2 minutes, but all seem to say something stimulating. Both Aaron and Jeff change the sound of their instrument or their approach to playing on each piece, selectively coming up with new ideas on each piece. They even come up with a handful of strange, twisted melodies on a few of these pieces. Quite a successful pairing of their talents and often an unexpected delight. - BLG
