Eff Gauthier & Maggie Parkins - The Smudges: Song and Call - Violinist Jeff Gauthier and cellist Maggie Parkins' The Smudges: Song and Call is a collaborative experiment 15 years in the making and marks the second act for famed West Coast jazz/new music label Cryptogramophone (Nels Cline, Alex Cline, Mark Dresser, Bennie Maupin, Ben Goldberg, Jenny Scheinman and others). Featuring compositions by accordionist Guy Klucevsek, composer Tom Flaherty, and Gauthier, the album mixes in adventurous duo improvs to create a genre defying experience with electrically altered sounds.
