In this installment of Jazz, Period., we revisit Kevin Dean and Al McLean in one of the finest acoustical spaces in Montreal, the Mount Royal United Church. They are joined by pianist Marie-Fatima Rudolf, who brings the rumbling, jaunty tango to life with her delicate, yet brooding touch.

In this recording, Dean and McLean both play unusual period instruments that are not their own; Dean a rare 1947 Olds Super Recording trumpet, and McLean an equally rare Martin Handcraft Master, or 'Typewriter' model alto sax. The Typewriter moniker can be attributed to the instrument's full set of round pearl key touches, resembling the keywork of a mechanical typewriter.

Kevin Dean is professor, and a founding faculty member of the Jazz program at McGill University's Schulich School of Music (http://www.mcgill.ca/music/).
