**Behind this duo are the Japanese pianist Yuko Oz and the Swiss vibraphonist Erich
Fischer, who can also be heard on “Tiger Waltz” as a percussionist and singer. **

The dialogue between piano and vibraphone is subtle and delicate, and Latin American
influences are evident on pieces such as “El Ultimo Tango” and “Joey’s Mambo”. But
mainly the two are masters of the ballad, in songs like “For Juli & Rosina” or “
Ballade für Camill” it’s the solemn melodies that create the magic of their music.
It’s rarely about solo virtuosity for Yuko & Joey, it’s listening to each other 
and exploring the musical material together that is their primary interest.

Freely adapted from Duke Ellington – “Jazz is the liberty of having a lot of forms”–
they engage in stylistic diversity and also discover poetic beauty in traditional
formats such as the title track or the “Unison Blues”.
