This album features Julian Mazzariello (piano) and Enzo Pietropaoli (double bass). These two great jazz musicians have played and recorded many albums together, but it is the first time that they appear as a duo. Honestly, it is an understatement to call them a duo since in each song they play they perform as a single instrument. The artists alternated pieces from the international repertoire, to highlight two songs composed by Cole Porter.

Their interpretations and dialog “intertwined” between the two instruments were truly magical.  A total timbre, musical and interpretative fusion…. a masterpiece! Fone’s Natural Sound DSD recording fully enhances all the music from these instruments.

A short, unpretentious yet exquisite, intro by the Belgian trumpeter Bert Joris is followed by the sonorous bass sound of Hein Van de Geyn and the clear voice of Paulien Van Schaik. The trio is complete. It is the introduction to an album full of jewels. And those jewels are a repertoire of classic standards such as Moonlight in Vermont, The Man I Love, Imagination and many other beautiful songs.

Here we hear chamber music of the highest caliber and in a pure jazz idiom. The great quality of Paulien is her deep respect for the way the melodies have been written by their composers. Lyrics and music as equals, interpreted by three passionate musicians.
