Lucas Leidinger / Daniel Daemen - Dialogues (LEO RECORDS 2018)


There is nothing new about the piano/saxophone duo but Lucas Leidinger (piano) and Daniel Daemen (saxophone) managed to find a special mood and sound that are utterly original. The beauty of this CD is in the fact that there are eleven fairly short pieces, some of them spontanious, some written, snipets of beautiful melodies emerge and disappear into the thin air. What is striking is the broad musical culture of these two musicians who don't seem to divide music into genres but rather treat all genres as just music.
