Album Notes & Community Reviews

Pairing a rising pop idol with a legendary Tin Pan Alley songwriter, 'Two of a Kind' bridges generational gaps through a shared love of swinging vocal jazz. Arranged by Billy May, the session is characterized by spontaneous, good-natured banter and highly relaxed, conversational vocal interplay between the two distinctly stylized singers.
