	CD Review of Nancy Turetzky & Bertram Turetzky - Music For Flute(s) And Contrabass on Nine Winds @ jazzreview.com
		Internationally renowned, both of them are musicians’ musicians, explorative and rules-breaking, even as they refer to the classical traditions of their instruments to develop a flute/bass repertoire that wouldn’t have existed without them.
		On the one hand, the ten tracks of the CD signify a sense of improvisation, even as the Turetzky’s follow the outlines of the compositions that their friends have written for them.
		But it’s the Turetzkys’ interpretations that bring them to life as their mastery of their instruments leads into non-traditional means of expression, such as tapping the bass or distinctive overtones on the flute.

		An academic, Turetzky, whose master classes have been referred to as "life-altering", also wrote The Contemporary Contrabass, which is regarded as a classic in the field.
		The later title is a misnomer since the pianist's fingers seem to be happily leaping over the keyboard as the bassist changes tempo a few times, using his bow not only to string along a basso counter melody but also to beat a few extra sounds out of the instrument.
