Greenlief & Raskin 2 + 2 Oakland, California
Phillip Greenlief and Jon Raskin formed 2 + 2 in 2003 as a container for revolving quartet formations.
We liked the
pairing of like instruments, giving the ensemble an immediate character and allowing the instrument pairings to expand their conception of the possible. We've played with so many wonderful musicians in this project.

Anarchism as a program. Dissonance and melody in a lively conversation, where no one has the main say, but yet everyone communicates what is important. Although mostly acoustic instruments are represented here, it's a lot of heavy and raw music. The power of the collective.

Fluid Fixations
by John Butcher + 13
supported by 8 fans who also own “2 + 2”
A complete and satisfying musical experience which, though very accessible will take an age to sink in..It's one of those pieces you can get lost in and keep coming back for more. Recorded in Huddersfield, a mill town I lived in back in the 60's.The days of the legend Frank Worthington,the high rise of the Lonsbrough and Ibbotson flats,Harold Wilson! Yet so much more to the place than that as this terrific album gives testimony to.There will always be something fresh in the air of that valley !
