  • Description

    The meeting of great minds usually happens behind closed doors, but for two of the world's foremost bassists - Christian McBride and Edgar Meyer - the collaboration proved so fruitful that a duo album exploring their collective backgrounds in jazz, folk, classical, bluegrass and funk was born.

    "Perhaps the most ridiculously productive artist in all of music today, let alone just jazz - He's that rare jazz bassist who's a genuine leader. What can't Christian McBride do?" - Stereophile



    "Mr. Meyer is not only a legitimate heir to this tradition but also a great energizing factor to the field. His versatility should be celebrated." - The New York Times



    Christian McBride: acoustic bass (all tracks except 8, 12); piano (tracks 8, 12)

    Edgar Meyer: acoustic bass (all tracks except 10, 14); piano (tracks 10, 14)
