“A collection of conversations shared between two friends from different generations, connected by the language of music.”
​
Despite 50 years of age difference, Kim and Alex grew a bond through their common appreciation and attitude towards music, improvising and the jazz tradition. On regular visits to Kim’s house in Red Beach, the two would listen to records, discuss music, philosophise on spirituality and play together. These visits first began 10 years ago and formed a lasting friendship, continuing during Alex’s returns back to New Zealand after he moved to Europe. This album is so to say a ‘snapshot’ of the musical conversations recorded in Kim’s home during summer 2023, of moments the two felt free to listen, connect and create.
