Description:

Vinyl LP pressing. The initial musical connection between saxophonist Mark Turner and pianist Ethan Iverson was made in 1990s jam sessions in New York City, with both going on to individual success Iverson in hit trio The Bad Plus and Turner as a solo leader and in such groups as the trio Fly (recording in both capacities for ECM). A decade after their first meeting, the saxophonist and pianist began an association in the Billy Hart Quartet, the two players featuring sympathetically on two widely lauded ECM albums by that band. Now with Temporary Kings, their debut on record as a duo, Turner and Iverson explore aesthetic common ground that encompasses the cool-toned intricacies of the Lennie Tristano/Warne Marsh school, as well as the heightened intimacy of modernist chamber music. The album presents six originals by Iverson (such as the nostalgic solo tune Yesterdays Bouquet) and two by Turner (including Myrons World, which has acquired near-classic status among contemporary jazz players). There's an off-kilter blues (Unclaimed Freight) and a strikingly melodic, almost Ravelian opening track dedicated to the Swiss town where the album was recorded (Lugano), plus an interpretation of Marshs playfully serpentine Dixies Dilemma.

"Temporary Kings" is a captivating LP by saxophonist Mark Turner and pianist Ethan Iverson, released under the renowned ECM Records label. This album showcases an intimate duo setting where both artists explore intricate jazz dialogues, blending lyrical improvisation with sophisticated harmonic interplay. The record features original compositions as well as inspired interpretations, highlighting the subtlety and depth of their musical partnership. ECM Records, founded in 1969 by Manfred Eicher in Munich, is celebrated for its pristine sound quality and innovative approach to jazz and classical music production. Mark Turner has established himself as one of contemporary jazz?s leading tenor saxophonists, known for his cerebral style and collaborations with artists like Kurt Rosenwinkel and Billy Hart. Ethan Iverson gained international acclaim as a founding member of The Bad Plus, pushing boundaries within modern jazz piano trios. Together on "Temporary Kings," they create an evocative listening experience that stands out in today?s jazz landscape.
