"If you ever thought a duo would soon become tiresomely repetitive, think again. This is great intricate music where tenor sax, soprano sax, acoustic guitar and electric guitar weave and interact in endlessly-changing ways. The CD is bound to win awards...."

Mike Murley and David Occhipinti are proud to release their second duo CD, Duologue Vol. 2.
The CD is on David Occhipinti’s Occdav Music label (OM004) and will be distributed by Festival Distribution (www.festival.bc.ca) The CD will be officially released on October 17, 2005 at the Montreal Bistro in Toronto.

Duologue Vol. 2, with a running time of just over an hour contains 5 original compositions, 4 jazz standards and 1 arrangement of a traditional Irish melody. The CD was recorded both in the studio and live at the now defunct Top o’ the Senator in Toronto.
The 2 Murley originals are based on standard chord progressions: YBSN is based on Cole Porter’s You’d Be So Nice to Come Home To while Sheep Walking is based on the standard You Stepped Out of a Dream. David Occhipinti’s What is it? is also based on a Cole Porter tune: What is this thing Called Love? The other 2 Occhipinti originals explore David’s interest in odd time signatures. Fifth Season is in 7/8 and and Heart and Mind is in 5/8. The latter song is dedicated to one David’s favourite musicians: Joni Mitchell. David wrote the song using one of her many guitar tunings.
