The title of the second disc by Charles Evans and Peter Evans' band The Language Of is a punning affair; No Relation refers not only to the fact that the two Evanses share no blood, but to the methods by which the pair dissect four jazz standards as the basis for the CD's eight tunes. But in actuality, the disc is all about relations, from the multitude of twinned opposites which litter the cover (Anthony Braxton with Toni Braxton; Wilt Chamberlain with extra-virgin olive oil) to the bridging of Charles' interest in post-bop experimentation rooted in tradition and Peters' steeping in free jazz. The twain meet at the junction of the standards they use for inspiration, which may no longer bear any resemblance to the end product but linger somewhere deep inside the music. The literal originals may be lost in translation, but their intentions come through loud and clear.
