The ': ,: release offers an intriguing variety of expression and :, : approaches. : :' ': ,: In "Blued Dharma," the title track, the two instruments wind in :, : and around each other in melodic abandon. Frahm is a gifted : :' player who can wring an endless melodic variety out of any ': ,: chord progression. The songs, all written by Farrugia with the :, : exception of "Cherokee" by Roy Noble and "Nobody Else But Me" by : :' Jerone Kern/Oscar Hammerstein, offer familiar jazz structure ': ,: and improvisational sections. :, : : :' "Cool Beans" is a highlight of the release, with a rhythmic ': ,: piano riff that bounces off a languid sax melody, gradually :, : ramping it up to a superbly tangled knot of bluesy melody and : :' drive. In "For Murray Gold," Frahm offers a pure tone that ': ,: matches the sombre mood of the piece. There are two versions of :, : Noble's "Cherokee." The first, "Cherokee II," is a kinetic track : :' with a relentless sense of momentum and an exuberant energy, ': ,: while "Cherokee I" mines the melodic rather than rhythmic :, : elements of the song. : :' ': ,: Recognizing their musical compatibility after playing together :, : in ensembles headed by Toronto drummer Ernesto Cervini for : :' several years, Farrugia and Frahm got together to record the ': ,: duo album in a single session at Tedesco Studio in New Jersey in :, : August 2017. They bring a symbiotic energy to a combination of : :' instruments that's not often heard from.
