TandemOpis:Product DescriptionThis duo of superb musicians can simultaneously be highly refined, and yet completely off-the-wall. They are two of the brightest lights of the international firmament of jazz as seen through a European prism. They have also put down a marker with 'Tandem': their stellar collaboration is most definitely going places. Since their first recorded collaboration, with Michael Wollny guesting on Vincent Peirani's Thrill Box album (2013), the careers of both Peirani and Wollny have witnessed meteoric rises, more or less in parallel with each other. They are considered all over Europe as two of the leading jazz musicians of their generation. What makes them stand out in particular is that they are extending the horizons of their instruments, that they strive to create ever-new fantasies in sound, and in doing so they are setting new paths for European jazz. Jazzwise likened Wollny s career to 'a vortex of creativity pointing in a relentlessly upwards trajectory.' The Observer stated that Peirani 'breaks new ground for his instrument. Their stylistic palette ranges widely. There is the mysterious, suspense-laden Björk Classic 'Hunter.' They play Samuel Barber s 'Adagio for Strings,' which the film-absorbed Wollny first encountered in the soundtrack of Oliver Stone s 'Platoon.' There is the anthemic 'Fourth of July' by Sufjan Stevens. The up-tempo number 'Vignette' by Gary Peacock is perhaps the only 'classic' jazz tune on the album. Other, original, compositions take the listener off in experimental and expressionist directions.

ReviewBetween them, the German pianist Michael Wollny and French accordionist Vincent Peirani create as rich a variety of musical sounds, textures and forms as you re ever likely to hear from two acoustic instruments. In style, these 10 pieces go from highly structured arrangement through more conventional jazz treatment to abstract free improvisation. Each has a charm of its own, makes perfect sense and is formidably well played. Outstanding among them are Wollny s Bells and arrangements of Barber s Adagio for Strings and Björk s Hunter. Even in the quietest passages the dynamic rapport between the two is obvious. The two final tracks are live concert recordings, where the duet s improvisation bears out Wollny s description of playing with Peirani as like tennis on fast forward . (FOUR STARS) --The ObserverFor this intriguing album, the rising German pianist Michael Wollny has bravely recorded a series of duets with an instrument far removed from jazz: the accordion. It doesn t sound like a good idea, yet the Frenchman Vincent Peirani proves to be a brilliant foil for Wollny s brittle lyricism. His technical fluidity and emotional sensitivity turn his instrument into a virtual orchestra as well as a supple tool for soloing. All thoughts of pasta, polkas and Primo Scala vanish in the face of the sounds he makes. (FOUR STARS) --The TimesThis collision of two highly inventive and original musical minds is never less than interesting and at best wholly absorbing.
