In the midst of their third international tour together, Blake and Fabris played a concert at the venerable BIMhuis in Amsterdam. As they left, the great folks at the venue handed them a recording of their set which was promptly packed away for the remainder of the tour. 15 years later, during the pandemic, the Knife found this recording and realized it was the best playing ever captured by this duo! Ran's solo playing is sublime as always but the duo is locked in, finishing each other's thoughts and creating a magical conversation. "...the duo (and trio) experience that Blake and Fabris had together shines through and they sound comfortable together from first note to last. Exquisite." (John Eyles, All About Jazz 10/28/24)

Great Winds / GW 3169, France, 2014 Released: Feb 04, 2014

Lettuce Prey is music that is supported equally by the three legs of Rock, Jazz and Classical. It has the guts and glory of rock heroes like Jimi Hendrix (whose tune, Angel, is featured as a guitar solo on this CD). It possesses the surprise and intrigue of jazz improvisation (like Ornette Coleman's Sadness - presented here in quintet format). Lastly, it exudes the intricacy and depth of classical music - Ives, Prokofiev, and Khatchaturian are among the composers presented here.

"Nothing is overdone or extreme but consistently well-crafted on a few different levels...What I like most about this is that Fabris finds ways of rearranging pieces so that we never know what direction any one piece will take." Bruce Lee Gallanter, Downtown Music Gallery

"Fabris is beautifully all over the place as he skillfully and with great passion tackles classical composers...Scythian Suite is ferocious and serious, blending the essence of the original with some rock-world fervor" Donald Elfman, NYC Jazz Record (June '14)
