CHRIS SEARLE recommends a work of love and deep admiration for a great musician
TRIOS, quartets and quintets are common enough jazz formations, but a committed piano saxophone duo that has regularly performed and recorded together during four years of hectic and grooving musicianship, each partner also playing in many different bands, is not a common twinship, particularly if this twosome has also produced three outstanding albums during that time.
But such is the achievement of two young men — pianist Andrew McCormack and saxophonist Jason Yarde.
McCormack’s music began at home, where his parents brought him a record which included Miles Davis’s So What.
