Mel Bay Presents: John Abercrombie & Andy Laverne - The Art of Duo
This DVD is the most recent project in a 25-year musical and  personal relationship between guitarist John Abercrombie and pianist Andy  LaVerne. While their previous recordings included standards, this project  features only their original compositions. The emphasis here is on the  interaction and blend of the instruments, as opposed to individual solos.John Abercrombie first gained widespread acclaim while recording and  touring with drummer Billy Cobham.  The consummate "musician's musician",  he possesses a unique voice which combines cutting-edge technology with a  solid foundation in traditional jazz.A profoundly gifted musician, composer and arranger, Andy LaVerne has  released more than 50 recordings as a leader and has contributed to scores  of others as a supporting artist.  Andy studied at Juilliard, Berklee, and  the New England Conservatory and currently serves as Professor of Jazz  Piano at The Hartt School at the University of Hartford.Tracks:1. Good Measure2.
