Remarkably, Old Paradise Airs is the debut duo album by these two masters. Recorded live at London’s Iklektik Art Lab the album features six equally intriguing pieces of spontaneously composed and performed music filled with all the joyous twists, turns and cerebral contemplation one would expect from a meeting of these two veteran performers.
