The album emerged after years of informal practice sessions; then, following two live performances, the duo recorded this session at Arco Barco in Ramsgate. The album is Evan Parker's fifth appearance on the False Walls label. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eExtracts from the CD booklet conversation between Tom and Evan: Evan: \"Duo is the simplest form of group playing. And so it's the simplest, the purest in a certain sense, and the most challenging. There's nowhere to hide, really. It's about the exchange. With two tenor saxophones, they have a shared language as instruments and I think we both have a relationship with the saxophone which is about: what does this thing do, what can it do? And then I've learned things from Tom that he has discovered: you can do this and can I approximate that? Can I incorporate that into my language or my relationship with the output of the instrument?\" \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTom: \"I mean, as much as there is just two of us and you can tell there's two of us, there are moments where there's no one [laughs], and then there's moments where there are four or five. This duo has challenged the way that I listen, or the way I don't listen sometimes. But there are these weird moments where there might be three perceivable, four perceivable things going on, you know, in terms of what you might call a voice.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"False Walls","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":51593858613526,"sku":"RMX-71575","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7750\/2998\/files\/6a5f4332c6fc393d74a3f5e6.jpg?v=1784638900","url":"https:\/\/resident-music-uk.myshopify.com\/products\/challenger-tom-evan-parker-may-spring-last-a-lifetime","provider":"Resident Music UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
