Our Take

EDWARD RICART/PAUL DUNMALL - Chamaeleon

Rating: 8.6

It's one thing to be a chameleon, blending in seamlessly with your surroundings. But it's a whole other thing to be a Chamaeleon, standing out boldly and fearlessly defying expectations. And that's exactly what Edward Ricart and Paul Dunmall achieve on their latest collaborative effort.

From the moment the first note hits your eardrums, you know you're in for a wild ride. Ricart's intricate guitar work dances around Dunmall's powerful saxophone lines, creating a mesmerizing tapestry of sound that's both avant-garde and accessible. It's like a musical game of tag, with each player taking turns chasing and being chased, pushing each other to new heights of creativity.

Tracks like "Lizard Lounge" and "Reptilian Rhapsody" showcase the duo's ability to seamlessly blend free jazz with more traditional influences, creating a sound that's both familiar and completely unique. And just when you think you've got them figured out, they throw a curveball with the hauntingly beautiful "Chameleon Blues," a track that's equal parts melancholy and triumphant.

In a music landscape full of copycats and trend-followers, Ricart and Dunmall stand out as true originals. Chamaeleon is a testament to their creativity and vision, a bold statement that demands to be heard. So do yourself a favor and give it a listen – you won't be disappointed.
