Album Notes & Community Reviews

Fostering a brilliant transatlantic collaboration, the sophisticated pianist of the Modern Jazz Quartet teams up with the highly talented French jazz guitarist for a remarkably airy, elegant studio session. The incredibly tasteful, chamber-like arrangements blend the refined, intellectual swing of the East Coast with a romantic, deeply melodic Parisian sensibility. The flawless, highly conversational interplay stands as a testament to the increasingly international scope of modern jazz.
