"Speak to Me" is the CD premiere of a duo that has actually been in existence for some time. The recordings with pianist Marc Copland and guitarist John Abercrombie are classic examples of the quiet, calm art of communication practiced at the highest level. The musical meeting of these two contemporary jazz maestros has a wonderfully organic feel. It is comparable to the finest chamber music. The pieces shimmer with multifarious shades and meanings. They are small sound sculptures of artful transience. This is music from two of the most insightful players of jazz.

PRESS QUOTES
"This is an album of sensitive touch and softly rippling atmosphere, but its core is durably clear." (Nate Chinen, New York Times)

"In the hands of these two top level veterans, on their respective chording instruments, the harmonies are expansive and overlapping, and often luminous. Melodic lines are interwoven with shimmering complexity over the sustain and resonant glow of chords, giving the overall mood of the set a deeply pensive quality of interactive symbiosis." (Dan McClenaghan, allaboutjazz.com)

"As delicately left-of-center as 'Speak to Me' is, there's never any dilution of the underlying tradition ... it's just as likely Speak to Me refers to these nine songs, calling out to Copland and Abercrombie, and providing them a perfect context for this sublime, subtle and soft-spoken recording." (John Kelman, allaboutjazz.com)

"The instinctive differences between two such strong musical personalities, as much as their mutual inspiration, are what nourish these performances to create the emotionally complex and eloquent beauty ... Sheer elegance." (Ray Comiskey, The Irish Times)

"The arrival of this superb collection of duets from pianist Marc Copland and guitarist John Abercrombie isn't exactly surprising, given the unmistakable compatibility they've demonstrated in other settings. But that doesn't make the CD's nine performances any less welcome or compelling." (Mike Joyce, Jazz Times)
