David Friesen & Bob Ravenscroft - Passage

With decades of friendship uniting them, two towering figures in music and entrepreneurship - David Friesen, an acclaimed bassist and musical visionary for 50 years, and Bob Ravenscroft, pianist, maker of the Ravenscroft Grand Piano and a force in Arizona's cultural landscape, elected to surrender control to the musical spirits in creating their first duo recording. With just their instruments, wide open ears, and little forethought, musical themes unfold spontaneously as uncharted areas of harmonic and melodic viewpoints reveal themselves. Movement through the many brief tunes unveils a more expansive structure of sound, their harmonious synchronicity offering surprising musical moments along the way.

(David Friesen is) one of the most eminent exponents of the instrument, he maintains an astonishing level of virtuosity. - LOS ANGELES TIMES
