about

"Billing themselves as Dose Hermanos, keyboardists Tom Constanten and Bob Bralove are Grateful Dead alumni who carry on the Dead's spirit of improvisation and experimentation on this baker's dozen collection of original tunes. Constanten, a rock hall of famer with the Grateful Dead, replaced original keyboardist Ron "Pigpen" McKernan, playing with the band from 1968 to 1970. Bralove, who has a master's degree in composition, was the Dead's MIDI wizard and is best known for the band's love-it-or-hate-it "Drums in Space" concert segments.

The two men played Yamaha and Baldwin pianos when they recorded this album live in April 2012 at Prairie Sun Studios in Cotati. Listening to it in stereo, Constanten is in the left channel and Bralove is in the right. It makes for fascinating listening as the two men trade ideas, mixing their classical sensibilities with their backgrounds in experimental jazz, rock, pop and blues. From the pastoral 'Appalachian Summer' to the jarring dissonance of 'Tokyo Dawn,' the playful back and forth of 'Hear to Their,' the cacophony of 'Beep Beep' and the strange sounds and odd effects of 'Behind the Mask,"'this album is a nothing if not creatively brave, eschewing any pretense of commercial acceptance in favor of mind-expanding excursions into the realm of what Dose Hermanos call 'concerto psychedelico'. Think Ferrante and Teicher on acid." - Paul Liberatore/Marin IJ
