Our Take

VASILIS XENOPOULOS / NIGEL PRICE QUARTET - Sidekicks

In the realm of jazz, there are artists who command attention with their sheer presence, and then there are the unsung heroes who provide the perfect support, like a trusty sidekick. Vasilis Xenopoulos and Nigel Price are the ultimate dynamic duo, delivering a swashbuckling performance on their latest album "Sidekicks."

From the moment the needle hits the groove, Xenopoulos' saxophone swoops in like a caped crusader, effortlessly weaving intricate melodies that dance around Price's masterful guitar work. The chemistry between these two is undeniable, each one pushing the other to new heights with every note.

Tracks like "Dynamic Duo" showcase their telepathic connection, as they effortlessly glide through complex chord changes and blistering solos. Meanwhile, "Sidekick Serenade" offers a more laid-back groove, allowing Xenopoulos to showcase his velvety smooth tone while Price adds just the right amount of sparkle.

But it's not all smooth sailing on "Sidekicks." The duo isn't afraid to take risks, delving into darker, more experimental territory on tracks like "Villainous Ventures." Here, Xenopoulos blows like a whirlwind, while Price's guitar growls and snarls in response.

In the end, "Sidekicks" is a triumph of collaboration, a testament to the power of teamwork in jazz. Xenopoulos and Price may not be headlining the bill, but make no mistake - they're the stars of the show.
