 Guitar and sax duo albums are relatively rare (I mean only those two instruments, without bass or drums). The absolute best one I know is Tim Berne and Bill Frisell's "Theoretically", for which the download link can be found below. The music is not only unusual, but very compelling as well. It's a pity they didn't go any further down this avenue.
Guitar and sax duo albums are relatively rare (I mean only those two instruments, without bass or drums). The absolute best one I know is Tim Berne and Bill Frisell's "Theoretically", for which the download link can be found below. The music is not only unusual, but very compelling as well. It's a pity they didn't go any further down this avenue.Most albums I could come up with are free improv, with the occasional Norwegian soundscapists. The only traditional jazz album with a sax-guitar duo setting is Zoot Sims & Joe Pass's "Blues For Two".
So here's the list, in random order :
Zoot Sims & Joe Pass - Blues For Two
Tim Berne & Bill Frisell - Theoretically
Evan Parker & Derek Bailey - Arch Duo
Anthony Braxton & Derek Bailey - First Duo Concert; Royal Vol. 1; Moment Précieux;
Anthony Braxton & Fred Frith - Duo (Victoriaville) 2005
John Zorn & Fred Frith - The Art Of Memory
Eugene Chadbourne & John Zorn - 1977-1981
Anthony Burr and Skuli Sverisson - The Workers Institute
Mats Gustafsson & David Stackenäs - Blues
Mats Gustafsson & Paolo Angeli : Split 10" Series # 2
Nels Cline & Vinny Golia - The Entire Time
Jan Garbarek & Ralph Towner - Dis
Miroslav Tadic & Peter Epstein - Without Words
Jonas Knutsson & Johan Norberg - Norrland
Henry Kaiser & John Oswald - Improvised (Vancouver)
Jim O'Rourke & Mats Gustafsson - Xylophonen Virtuosen
Mike Murley & David Occhipinti - Duologue Vol. 2
Stefan Jaworzyn & Alan Wilkinson - In A Sentimental Mood
Carlo Actis Dato & Enzo Rocco - Pasodoble
Martin Küchen & David Stackenäs - Agape
Noël Akchoté & Bruno Meillier - S/T
Frank Lowe & Eugene Chadbourne - Don't Punk Out

Any other suggestions?
