5.0 out of 5 stars If Unique is What You Seek, July 3, 2005

This was my introduction to the all-too-brief musical association between Nancy King and Glen Moore, two denizens of the Pacific Northwest. Moore is an exceedingly talented string bassist and pianist, who seems way too serious for Nancy King, a flighty diva of jazz. He seems more the brooding presence like what you hear in the spooky "Your Love." She's a lot more like the "Little Bronco Buster" in the first cut.

But before we go any further, please note the amazing contributions of one of the greatest jazz piano players you never heard of: Art Lande. He does stand-up straight work on "Four," quirky weird riffs in "I Got Rhythm," but wonderful, wonderful Art Lande work in "Crooked Road."

I first heard of these two when I heard "Alligator Dancing" ten-plus years ago in Florida, and had to have more. Bennie Wallace does the wonderful tenor sax work there.

Now, they've gone their separate ways, although still performing live together occasionally. You won't be disappointed by this great album...

King and Moore are unique in jazz recording. Their albums are seldom seen in music stores, but are worth searching for. Imagine "Mountain Greenery" sung in a sort of 3-beatover a solo bass pedal note- and it works, brilliantly. Literally everyone I've played them for has fallen in love with this duo's unique approach to jazz. Treat yourself.

King & Moore started out strong and kept sliding as they progressed. Potato Radio is the second outing from the duo and features much less of the stripped down instrumentation (just voice and bass) which marked their debut album, "Impending Bloom". Still, there are a number of great moments throughout the CD. It's a pity the duo never released a live CD. I saw them live in Portland summer of '92 and was left most impressed by the sounds that two people could make.
