The theme this episode is—got ya!—there isn't a theme. What we do have are two mildly historical piano-led recordings by musicians who couldn't be more different if they tried, and two new releases by musicians also pulling in different directions. Get a large group together and go for eclecticism? Or just multi-track yourself and add a duet partner to the mix? You, dear listeners, can pick the approach you like.
