If there is one art that cannot be surrogated in
jazz, it is clarity in the exposition of the theme,
and in this matter Monteiro follows in the
footsteps of the great roots of vocalism, with
his mezzo-soprano range through which he
dribbles the pitch, painting from one dynamic
to the next the best suggestions for constructing
the perfect interplay with Pasini, whose
recourse to an almost tenor-like timbre of the
alto sax seems to want to integrate timbrally
to complete the palette of colours proper to
the moods of each piece interpreted together.
Assuming technique, it is in the common
construction of language, in the adherence to
the use of vibrato as in the control of tonality,
that the intimate beauty of Ball & Boss resides.
Something that is good to know exists and
smacks of resistant revolutionarity.
Pure language for poetry .
