This is "The Köln Concert" of the 21st century. A meditation in beauty and sound in uncertain times.
Favorite track: Across the Azure Blue.

This is exquisite. Achingly beautiful throughout. In these chaotic times, Music of Our Time comes just in time.

Yet another facet of two contemporary genii is revealed. Maestros Gary Husband and Markus Reuter embark on an impromptu journey of both mind and soul, in one of the most unique, timeless efforts ever to grace the MoonJune label – or, for that matter, the improvised and avant-garde genre – with the release of the recherché, "Music Of Our Time."
And, fittingly occupying the label’s 101 space – starting the second century of releases in the same fashion as MoonJune first came into being (with the initial release: Elton Dean & Mark Hewins' "Bar Torque") – yet another monumental duet takes shape: perhaps in defiance of the circumstances which prompted its creation, as well as the industry environment into which it is birthed.
Temporarily stranded after performing only one show in Japan, at Blue Note in Nagoya, and having the remainder of the Japan and China tour with Stick Men (Tony Levin, Pat Mastelotto and Markus Reuter) with very special guest Gary Husband (on keyboards), abruptly cancelled, the producer Leonardo Pavkovic quickly constructed a 'Plan B' on the fly. Acting quickly, Leonardo booked a block of studio time in a Tokyo for two musicians, before their return flights. In a candid, unrehearsed setting, the two bared their souls – uncovering further evidence of their fluid, inventive natures.
Inspired by the house's beautiful Fazoli Pianoforti grand piano, Gary Husband unveils new depths of his unique musical prodigy. Markus Reuter proves the perfect compliment: kinetically synchronized in effortless perfection to his partner's every shift and turn – with graceful elegance, and rich textures providing spacious understatement throughout proceedings.
The chemistry between artists takes its immediate and obvious form: through their mutual reverence of the musical moment at hand, exhibited through seemingly telepathic interplay and dynamics. The result is a priceless gem: "Music Of Our Time" is a lustrous jewel of exquisite beauty and magnificent stature ... an ethereal creation, which ventures to places and spaces music rarely accesses.

TRUCE

WOW! This is excellent stuff! Is it Jazz, is it Prog, is it something else? Just don't care, this is groovy and f***ing complex at the same time. Foot tapping and headbanging in weird signatures.

OWARI
by Stick Men featuring Gary Husbandsupported by 101 fans who also own “Music of our Times”
About 1/3 thru it so far, and already i agree that this is an important performance to release to the public. “Cusp” and “Larks 2” are worth the price of admission alone. (Frustrated to learn of this October release in December, but i guess that just means i need to pay more attention to social media...?)
