This intimate duet album features Allan on an acoustic-sounding guitar, while Gordon plays both acoustic and electric piano. Sometimes they overdub. The material is varied: swinging jazz on “She’s lookin’...”, experimental on “Diminished…” and melancholic on “At The Edge”, where Allan does an early version of what would be joined with “The Things You See…” on IOU. Still, it’s cohesive sounding, and very listenable. | This intimate duet album features Allan on an acoustic-sounding and electric guitar, while Gordon plays both acoustic and electric piano.
