by Roger Farbey
Cincinnati-based Brad Myers's follow-up recording to his 2015 quintet album “Prime Numbers" is essentially a duo record with his bassist colleague Michael Sharfe.

Rick Hannah / Erwin Siffer: 2-Man Jazz Band
by Budd Kopman
Piano and guitar is a relatively rare combination for a number of reasons including overlapping ranges and having the similar timbre of percussive string.
