Album Notes

Over the course of their 10-year partnership,
Boston-based pianist/composers Ben
Schwendener and Marc Rossi have developed a
unique and empathic musical language based on
George Russell's Lydian Chromatic Concept of
Tonal Organization.
They first documented this language-which
uses innovative graphic scores as a coherent
framework for spontaneous, genre-defying
improvisation-on their 2002 debut, Living
Geometry (Gravity Records 1900-6), which All
About Jazz reviewer Glenn Astarita called "a
very special endeavor" and a top pick for 2002.
This new two-disc set documents a pair of 2003
Boston performances, including four pieces also
featuring guests Uwe Steinmetz and the
legendary Joe Maneri on reeds.
Ben Schwendener
piano/composer
Marc Rossi

Joe Maneri
clarinet and saxophones (Disc 2: 7-10)
Uwe Steinmetz
saxophones (Disc 2: 7-10)
"The rhythmic energy provokes the pair into
some spirited interchanges, and helps to give the
music a content beyond the mere realization of a
theory."-Stuart Kremsky, Cadence
