Håkon Kornstad: Tenor Sax
Håvard Wiik: Piano

The Bad And The Beautiful marks the second installment of unique, intellectually stimulating and very emotional musical vignettes from saxophonist Håkon Kornstad and pianist Håvard Wiik, after Eight Tunes We Like (Moserobie, 2005).

As was done previously, the tunes range from older and newer standards to intriguing tunes by today's composers, plus a couple of pop tunes that really work. Regardless of their pedigree, each piece has a certain latent possibility buried within it. Kornstad and Wiik's efforts are directed towards exposing the inner workings of these marvelous compositions; saying, in effect, "This is what they are really about."

Eschewing any kind of studio magic, the duo is recorded very dryly, which is heard as an extension of their respective musical personalities. Kornstad uses a thin but focused tone with little airiness or vibrato, and stays mostly in higher range of the tenor saxophone. Wiik's touch is very delicate and spare, leaving lots of space. His playing might be heard as that of a modern Teddy Wilson, whose notes have been described as strings of pearls.

The immediacy and directness of the sound adds to the emotional impact of the album, which accumulates over the course of the tunes. The effect, as on the previous album, is subtle and beautiful, without a hint of the bombastic. They are playing to each other and for themselves, creating an air of intimacy. Thankfully, we get to hear it.
