Duopoly
Here is “Duopoly” in its entirety as a continuous split-screen black & white “concert video” or “full album video.” This is the video version of my album of the same name released September 30, 2016 on my own label, Pyroclastic Records. I am posting it here in full because the DVDs as manufactured (after several rounds of testing, correcting and refing) did not live up to my expectations or standards of quality. Apparently the DVD format is a big step down from digital high definition video, especially when filming black and white. Here you can watch me play continuous duets with guitarists Bill Frisell and Julian Lage, pianists Craig Taborn and Angelica Sanchez, drummers Billy Drummond and Marcus Gilmore, alto saxophonist Tim Berne and clarinetist Don Byron, in that very order on the first eight tracks and then exactly reversed order on the latter eight tracks. The album is a musical palindrome. I hope you enjoy!
