Title: A Brilliant Double Bill!
Review: This fantastic CD contains eleven duets between pianist Bill Carrothers and drummer Bill Stewart, plus one solo track from each (total time: 63:14). Though there are only two players, this is a very full sounding "band" with a high level of interplay, and Steve Wiese's quality engineering captures every nuance. Two highlights: the hard-swinging "Puttin' on the Ritz" and the ultra-bluesy "Death of a Cigarette." This is passionate, exciting music that bears repeated listening and sounds better the louder you play it.
