Chiaroscuro is an album by American guitarist Ralph Towner and Italian trumpeter Paolo Fresu recorded in October 2008 and released on ECM the following year.[1]
The AllMusic review by Jeff Tamarkin awarded the album 4 stars, stating, "Chiaroscuro, naturally, boasts virtuosic musicianship, but it's never about that; it's about two artists coming together by chance and allowing their mutual respect to show them the way to something great."[2]
