  • Description

    This stellar inter-generational collaboration between National Endowment for the Arts Jazz Master Kenny Barron and vibraphonist Mark Sherman, both professors at Juilliard Jazz, showcases their remarkable interplay on nine well-chosen standards and two originals. A consummate accompanist and one of the most lyrical pianists of our time, Barron has had a longstanding love affair with the intimate duo setting. Perhaps most memorable of all was his 1992 duet with Stan Getz on People Time, the tenor sax master's final recording.

    Now comes Interplay, his tenth duo encounter and Sherman's first. And once again, the great pianist demonstrates his considerable skills - uncanny listening, fluid and sympathetic comping style, facile exchanges and horn-like melodic lines, rich chord voicings and impeccable time feel -- in this simpatico conversation with vibist Sherman. "Kenny's harmonic sense and just the way he serves the music is at the highest level," says Sherman. "I was transcribing Kenny Barron solos when I was 16, 17 years old, so you can imagine how much it means to me to be recording with him. It's a total cloud nine situation for me."

    Part of the Chesky Binaural + Series, all recorded with a single microphone, the band appears right before you with this spacious, lush and multi-dimensional recording. Now headphone users will hear the same three-dimensional sound and imaging as audiophiles have for the past 25 years with Chesky Recordings. Also these new Binaural+ Series albums capture even more spatial realism for the home audiophile market, bringing you one step closer to the actual event. You will hear some of the most natural and pure jazz ever recorded.
