Description:

Berlin-based pianist and composer Aki Takase has been active internationally in the field of jazz and improvisation. She has received the Berlin Newspaper Culture Critics Award, the SWR Radio Station's Best Musician Award, the German Critics Award for Best Record of the Year in the Jazz category, and the Berlin Jazz Award, among others. Following her previous album "Thema Prima" (BMCCD268S), which was named "Best albums of 2019" by The Guardian (UK), Aki Takase's new album is released on BMC (Budapest Music Center) Records in Hungary. The duo is joined by German Daniel Erdmann, a member of the previous group "Japanic" and a regular BMC artist! The two met as teacher and student at the Hans Eisler University of Music in Berlin, where Aki Takase taught Erdmann how to improvise, and now they are equal duo partners, trading brilliant improvisations. The piano and saxophone are in sensitive dialogue with each other, but not only are they in tune, they also sometimes include contradictory movements, creating a free and emotional duo that is captivating.Recording: August 3-4, 2020, BMC Studios (Budapest)
