About the album
Even during their studies at the Conservatorium Maastricht, guitarist Thomas Nordhausen and pianist Stefan Michalke always enjoyed cultivating the art of duo playing. In recent years, there have been more frequent concerts with this unusual line-up, so they decided to finally record the long overdue CD. A good idea, because the result is really impressive.
The soft sound of the guitar goes so well with the grand piano that one wonders why there are so few recordings in this line-up. The original compositions complement each other well, even if (or perhaps because) each musician has his own compositional handwriting. The two take their audience into melodious, partly lyrical modern jazz worlds; music that never gets boring and always explores new spheres.
