“As band mates and musical brothers Lucian Ban and Alex Harding share the kind of synergy essential to a successful duet session. Both men evince highly emotive playing styles–and coupled with astute expertise in the language of jazz, it?s a pairing guaranteed to pay dividends. Harding is a regular member of Ban?s working group, which operates under the simple moniker of The Jazz Unit. Capitalizing on his deepening relationship with the CIMP family the baritonist secured this intimate date for he and his friend, the results of which show the two to be complimentary to a degree few musicians can muster. There?s a drenching pathos to their music that cleanses as it refreshes. Through their respective instruments and in near-telepathic collusion, Harding and Ban mean what they say . . . . The result of it all coalesces into a frothing current of sound that all but carries the listener away to realms unforeseen. In his usual notes Rusch makes tempting mention of a quintet date that coincided with that of the duo. Based solely on the music herein that release is certain to be a must hear as well.”
