lyrics

Claustrophobia

Couples, cooped up in their small apartments spent more time together than they had ever bargained for. There was nothing that had been left unsaid and even the reviving of old disputes had lost its charm. While one dreamed of being with someone else, the other dreamed of being all alone in the deserted west.

Musical Notes

This duo was recorded on Zoom while Parker and Bennett were preparing for the full quartet recording. The tenor sax and piano play emotionally-charged arpeggios and tremolos in their representation of coupled life. Both techniques are considered somewhat declassé in the sound world of modern music but what was old will eventually be new again. The harmonies oscillate from minor to major. Nothing is settled, uncertainty rules.
