 And Keep This Place In Mind for a Better One is Hard to Find | Dee | Now I Remember

Personnel includes: Franck Amsallem (piano); Tim Ries (soprano & tenor saxophones, flute); Leon Parker (percussion).

"...this series of mostly cerebral, abstract duets (occasionally augmented by Leon Parker's drums) shows the lyrical and emotional similarity between pianist Amsallem and saxophonist and flutist Ries....Both players are excellent technicians, structured improvisers and have big ears for what is being played by the other..."
JazzTimes

"...sterling interplay, pristine sonics and joyous creation. This hour long DDD platter spotlights the engaging melodicism and venturesome romps of pianist Amsallem and reedman Ries. The resoundly subtle percussion of Leon Parker enhances selected numbers.
Gene Kalbacher / CMJ Report
