Matija Dedić and Charlie Jurković

Dedić’s piano meets Charlie Jurković’s eight-string tapping guitar, an unusual duet that lets both players cover bass, harmony and melody without a rhythm section.

Croatia Records issued the album in 2015, the same year Dedić released his much better-known tribute to his father Arsen, so this compact Bach experiment can easily be overlooked in his discography.
