The Juniper Meadows : Pistils for Madeleine (UK,2005)°
Juniper Meadows is an improvisational acoustic duo consisting of Brad Rose and Chris Skillern.
The duo according to the info sheet play instruments like banjo, acoustic guitar, melodica, glockenspiel, violin, harmonica, maracas, tambourine, pipe flute, violin bow, bass bow. I think this is recorded live and in one take, so of course we hear only two instruments at a time. The improvisation starts somewhat moody, quiet and relaxed but thoroughly loses a bit of its already loose concentration and becomes more like a pre-improvisational warming up thing which last far too long, with too much nonsensical chord-less doodling to convince me, even when the group might get away with it for some, because the inner calmness is kept together.
Only 92 CDR albums were made of this recording. The few good moments makes it ok to check out. But I think the band still is too unfocused and too undisciplined, and even too boring to make it really worthwhile.
