about

Q&A is a duo work of Rollet with Andrew Sharpley (Stock, Hausen & Walkman, a.o.), realized in August last year. Not sure if this is the first meeting also. We have Rollet playing sax again and Sharpley computer. The meandering solos by Rollet work very well with the textures created by Sharpley, that sometimes pure sound-oriented. At other places with rhythmic and/or melodic elements, like in ‘Loop’ and ‘Placeholder’. Sharpley plays in a subdued way, but his movements and gestures are exact and appropriate and make a good match with the more expressive style of Rollet. Fine balance and nice colouring!
(DM, Vital Weekly 1298)

Released as a collaborational effort of the labels named ReQords and Test Recordings on June 15th , 2k21 is "The New Me", the first ever remotely recorded album outing by Q & A a.k.a. Quentin Rollet and Andrew Sharpley which, as a duo, combine their instruments of choice - saxophones and computer - to create a 6 tracks and roughly 41 minutes spanning firstling with this one. Having known eachother for more than two decades it is, somewhat surprisingly, the first time the two artists actually joined forces for a project, presenting a musical landscape which is mostly focusing on harmonic, Jazz-leaning sax improvisations which oftentimes provide a tender, somewhat even romantic feel whilst bits like our personal favorite "Placeholder" gravitate towards floating, Ambient- / ChillOut-leaning backings with minimal sax interventions, "421" provides the calm and comfort of an autumnal Sunday afternoon spent in good company and deep conversation whereas the concluding "Asymmetric" focuses on slightly warped, vintage sounding Ambient structures for a closing just to name a few. Deep.
