These duets are wonderful, I think that vibraphone and piano are a difficult combination to be effective. Tete and Bobby ,with empathy and superb musicianship, make it work superbly. Two jazzmen from totally different cultures and ethnicity blend together faultlessly. I found it very moving. Thanks to all who made it possible to listen to this magical set.
This year certainly is beginning right! Great concert with two of my favorite musicians. Tete is just great as accompanist as he is a soloist. He anticipates and compliments every harmonic and rhythmic turn Bobby makes and his timing is impeccable. You don't miss a rhythm section with Tete behind a soloist, in fact the duo has found richer nuances in their interplay. Thank you for letting me hear this concert! Bravo, Tete and Bobby!!
I saw them play live in Barcelona at the Bikini club around the same year. There was no chemistry between them - it was alchemy. Or just that plain ol' magic. Thanks for uploading this.
