Voice, piano, and quiet swing

Selections such as "Mean To Me," "Midnight Sun," and "More Than You Know" showcase the close musical rapport between Fitzgerald and Peterson. On "When Your Lover Has Gone," they exchange short solos and melodic ideas, while the closing "April In Paris" gives Peterson room for a swinging solo and Fitzgerald space for expressive scatting.

Put on the record for an evening of small-ensemble jazz, where subtle phrasing and conversational interplay take center stage.
