Reviews

"The delicate interplay ... between pianist Hersch and guitarist Frisell ... brings freshness and understated luster to it all."
Entertainment Weekly

"These guys are too distinctive to clone the past. Their romanticism is edged with a contemporary tartness, a tangy irony that infuses canny arrangements and biting solos. And so they remap and reinvigorate ... standards like "What is This Thing Called Love?" and "I Got Rhythm" in sly, appealing and often hilarious ways."
