Description
Legendary vibraphonist Joe Locke reunites with pianist Phil Markowitz for 'Smoke and Mirrors', a deeply personal live duo recording that celebrates four decades of friendship and musical partnership. The album includes six original compositions alongside their interpretation of 'Soul Eyes' by Mal Waldron, and showcases the intimate artistry of two master improvisers. Recorded live at East Stroudsburg University, the collection reflects their extraordinary musical symbiosis developed since their first meeting when Locke was just 13. This remarkable spontaneous recording documents not only their accumulated wisdom but their enduring joy in collaborative music-making.
