The bass of
Christian McBride has maybe never sounded this bold and clear before – set up in an album of bass duets with
Edgar Meyer, a musician whose style complements
McBride's in a mighty nice way! The title's question definitely gets answered on the
record – as both players switch back and forth between melody and rhythm – doing a really great job of opening up the sound while still swinging too – with a quality that's really rich and soulful, thanks to a superb job of
recording! Each musician plays piano on two different tracks – meaning that four out of fifteen have piano/
bass duets – and titles include "Canon", "Philly Slop", "Solar", "Barnyard Disturbance", "Green Slime", "Lullaby For A Ladybug", and "Tennessee Blues".
