Ladyfinger - Fourteen

Diane Roblin (piano + synth) and Kayla Milmine (soprano saxophone) played a set of their own compositions, bookended by a couple Wayne Shorter pieces. There was room for romps and laments alike, all infused with the obvious chemistry and affection invested into this ongoing duo.

Using a handful of pieces (including ones by Monk and Carla Bley) as springboards for improvisation, this pairing for piano and soprano sax found room to get dense, stretch things out, and end with a laugh.
