Sage Wisdom

"Good improvisation communicates harmonic progression melodically. Effective melodies manipulate harmonic content through the use of guide tones and preparatory gravity notes, masterfully woven in systematic tension, release, and transparent harmonic definition."

February 3, 2007 | Extreme Thile

The Tennessee audience enjoyed two musicians who go to extremes, the high-wire "trapeze" fret artistry of mandolinist Chris Thile and the basement solid bowing of bassist Edgar Meyer brought two standing ovations and an encore in a recent concert. "He just likes to show off." Thile quips of his frequent duo partner Meyer, "He can play as high as me and then like five octaves lower." Featuring original compositions that wield not only the diverse capabilities of instruments from opposite ends of the spectrum of register, their true gift is showing off the compatibility.

Throw in some Bach (including some expertly transcribed organ works), and the comedic interlude banter of two who not only work together well but play well together (pun intended), their artistry continues to delight and dazzle wherever they go.
