about

Established hot jazz authority Michael McQuaid and youthful guitar virtuoso Curtis Volp team up for a dynamic yet intimate series of duets, for no reason at all - other than musical enjoyment, of course.

The album features a surprising array of tunes from the 1920s and 30s, ranging from familiar favourites like 'The Man I Love' and 'Melancholy' to unjustly neglected gems such as 'Forget-Me-Not' and 'If I Can't Have You'.

Though inspired by the likes of Bix Beiderbecke, Johnny Dodds, Frank Trumbauer, Annette Hanshaw, Eddie Lang and Teddy Bunn, the duo achieves a fresh new sound through their warm and witty musical dialogue.

And here's a video of the duo recording one of the tracks: youtu.be/pqHd03sS2Q0
