An untouchable duo playing with effortless brilliance

Towner and Fresu form the rare combination of trumpet and guitar, the fruit of which is the acclaimed album, 'Chairoscuro'. Their poignantly expressive performances on this album and their subsequent tour have an elegant and fluid rapport. Towner's exquisite playing has made him an iconic guitarist, known particuarly for his legendary group 'Oregon'. Sardinian born Fresu is one of Italy's leading trumpet/flugelhorn players, often noted for his Miles Davis-like style. They are two true architects of modern sound, whose interaction pays homage to the history of jazz whilst offering moments of pure improvisation.

"In keeping with its title, ['Chiaroscuro'] is a high contrast work, with the duo providing flashes of spectral illumination from within a deep cloud of enfolding aural darkness. Towner moves between classical, 12-string and baritone guitars, the latter beautifully complemented by Fresu's flugelhorn." Robert Shore, Jazzwise
