Roadsided and Double Toothed | Baldi/Gerycz Duo

Roadsided and Double Toothed by Baldi/Gerycz Duo, released 19 November 2021 1. Friendly Problem 2. Hairstreak 3. Changeable Grass Veneer 4. Moonseed's Comma 5. Implicit Arches “Roadsided and Double Toothed is the third Baldi/Gerycz Duo album to come out in two years, featuring Cloud Nothings’ Dylan Baldi and Jayson Gerycz on saxophone and percussion respectively. Recorded just prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, the album boasts five selections of free jazz from the duo, culled from longer improvisatory sessions. The result is compelling and cohesive as it moves from more lively cuts to the most delicate piece in the duo’s existence. Baldi’s sax oscillates between the melodic and dissonant, foregrounding Gerycz’s dynamic drumming. Roadsided and Double Toothed is a varied collection with longer songs like “Changeable Grass Veneer” evolving slowly over nearly twelve minutes as opposed to quicker three-to-four minute barnburners like “Friendly Problem” and “Hairstreak.” The album ends
