Eerie we want, given the current time, eerie we end up with on My Dinner With Andrea a new duo album from Bobby Previte and Michael Kammers. Previte concocts quite a tapestry of overdubs utilising besides drums and their electronic cousins, synthesizer, vibes, percussion and yes coconut shells. Kammers restricts himself to flute, tenor saxophone, electronics and keys.

The album title puns quite deliciously on writer Andrea Kleine's first name and the title of the 1980s Louis Malle film My Dinner with André drawing too on its psychological intensity.

Previte and Kleine have worked together a fair few times over the years. There is a serenity, that eeriness again folded in, to the music, I like first up. Vibes play a significant part in its trajectory. Fairly brief you are left wanting more. Previte has always been an interesting writer and manages the feat of drawing on the avant garde and shackling it as a commentary on the heart of an imagined historic jazz sound however obliquely.

The drummer-composer may be able to ''break your heart with one cymbal crash'' as his publicity in the past regularly trotted out in a winning phrase but largely refrains from doing so here although Kammers does his best on sax on his bolt from the blue Gato Barbieri-like solo on 'The Swirl' where he lets go in a fireworks moment.

Definitely appealing and counterintuitively much more enjoyable than Previte's recent Music From the Early 21st Century that had its moments and is certainly jazzier but was curiously patchier. SG
