Duo

Peter Schimke & Irv Williams

Making this record was really an amazing experience for me. Almost every cut was a first take… and I was quite pleased with the way it all turned out in the end. Working with Irv in this context allowed for the kind of intimate musical dialogue that I had been wanting to experience since the very first time I ever heard this avatar. I am, of course a fan of many great records made throughout the years in the duo context… particularly work by Steve Lacy and Mal Waldron, and the fairly recent recording by Herbie Hancock and Wayne Shorter, 1+1. -Peter Schimke
