Investigate & Enjoy – Dave Harrington Piquenique Recordings is proud to present Investigate and Enjoy a deep musical conversation between two of New York Citys most prolific musicians Dave Harrington and Kenny Wollesen Harrington Darkside and Wollesen Sex Mob use a shared language of texture groove and space to craft intricate freeformed and inventive experimental musicWollesens forceful percussion opens up side A which grooves heavily underneath Harringtons skittering electronics The flip side features sparse yet rich guitar tones on what Harrington and Wollesen refer to as an improvised ballad Both pieces resonate with a powerful mood as hints of lateTalk Talk and Battles permeate these unique recordingsThis release is part of an ongoing series that aims to capture the New York City jazz scene in its current always evolving form quotOf all of the things weve done together over the years playing as a duo has been one of the most special to me We never rehearse we never play any songs but Kenny and I find ourselves writing music together in realtime Kenny is the rare drummer who has the ability to not only supply a sort of canvas for another musician to work inside of and to paint harmonically on but he can make the frame around it and he can splatter paint himself in a meaningful way that has the power to change the whole shape of the shared dream of an improvisation We have recorded together a number of times over the last several years and this music came out of one such meeting While it is no exaggeration when I say that having my name next to Kennys on a record sleeve is a dream come true the real dream is getting to make music with a true masterquot Dave Harrington
