D-Squared
Featured on Folk
& Jazz Concert, June 9, 2007, 2:00 p.m.
In the musical equation,
D‑Squared, the whole is indeed greater than the sum of its
parts. The voices of Don Charles and Deb Gessner blend with
the folk harp and guitar to create a tonal fabric as rich
and varied as the Southwestern landscape. The music sets
sail in some intriguing directions, always arriving but
never by the expected route. Suspended in a graceful weave
of melody and counterpoint is a sly, back-door wit
punctuated by an understated spirituality.
Their original songs and tunes are born of an intimate
relationship to the land and their lives in the central
Arizona mountains. They write about real people in a real
world with real concerns who are nonetheless real glad to
be here.
