Obradovic-Tixier Duo

The internationally award-winning Obradovic-Tixier Duo makes a tidal-wave splash with their live performances. “The music,” says Croatian drummer Lada Obradovic, “is a painting of life, a vision of the world, a scream transcending the sounds of the universe.” Even this preface can’t fully prepare us for the exhilarating journey of this program, in which Obradovic’s rhythmic changes come fast, precise, and surprising — slowing down only to let French pianist David Tixier’s enchanting notes, in turn, wash the stage in vivid and bittersweet color. This virtuosic pair has what it takes to win over every listener, from newcomers to committed jazz heads, in this unmissable performance. (Mezzo.tv)
