Assif Tsahar & Tatusya Nakatani

Ephemeral and slippery, the music of this saxophone and percussion duo mystifies. On their 2012 album, I Got It Bad, the pair operates like particles on an atomic level, especially on songs like “Deliver.” Across the five-minute track, the sounds emerging from Tsahar’s sax and Nakatani’s drums collide into each other but sometimes bond for moments of fleeting and transcendent coherence.
