about

A celebration of the 10th anniversary of this percussion duo's first release (Percussion Duets), and testimony to the unique creative force of these former John Lurie National Orchestra/Lounge Lizards percussionists! A powerful mix of textures, grooves, blood and guts from Africa to South Philly.The sound quality is excellent and you can really lose yourself in this 'otherly' dimension, which these two artists create every time they perform together. Many people showed up for this dynamic duo's show at Houston Hall, which recalls those famous 'drum battles' staged in the 1950s.This special mixture of intensity and beauty proves Martin & Weston to be one of the great drum duos of our time.
