These are the Songs

Brian Marsella (keyboards) Cyro Baptista (percussion)

Let’s talk about music, let’s talk about jazz… but first, let’s consider the chemical factor. What the audience can witness is only the reactions: sparks and bangs. If, in the experimental test-tube, we place a Brasilian master percussionist such as Cyro Baptista and an explosive pianist such as Brian Marsella, we will quickly agree on the result: sheer incandescence. Nothing sounds artificial, nothing sounds watered down. They’re directly tuned into life. Nothing here that wouldn’t fit in a genuine magical rite. The duellists’ careers account for each and every explosion within the duo: Baptista and Marsella know each other perfectly and they’ve been shaking things up together in Beat The Donkey and Banquet of The Spirits - like-minded musicians who see eye to eye on everything. Not so much chemistry, then, as blazing alchemy.
