The first release of 2024 is in! After their well-received debut duo album Puncture Cycle (released five years ago on A New Wave Of Jazz - this album you find here), British key improviser Benedict Taylor (viola) and Dirk Serries (archtop guitar) are back with a new duo album.  An album they recorded at the fantastic Oude Klooster chapel in Brecht (Belgium) on August 11th, 2023.  Full-on interaction, fast-paced dialogue while still listening and corresponding in depth with the sublime acoustics of the chapel.  Obsidian is now out on the Portuguese Creative Sources label, run by the equally stunning viola player Ernesto Rodrigues.
