Fantastic! Only watched a short bit of it right now but quick impressions -- the Yamaha CFX  grands sound great, really a nice, smooth recording. I'd be curious to know if they are the latest generation of CFXs. Since there are no music racks, I don't know any other defining characteristics on the new ones.

 

Not normally a fan of the "two piano" format but they play off each other nicely and very musical from the little I've heard. Never a shortage of chops and fireworks from Geoff. Billy always sounds wonderful. Looking forward to hearing more when I have time.

 

Thanks for posting.

Make sure you listen to the whole thing, Dave.  Each tune is quite different.  Ends with Billy's Bounce (or some bop blues - not sure I remember which one).

Wow!

Like Dave, I'm not a fan of the two piano format - perhaps the most notable exception being the Corea/Hancock thing. It's just too easy to overplay, or create harmonic clashes, or go out of rhythmic sync. But these are two of my absolute favorite pianists, so I did listen.

And... wow, wow, wow.

I was captured from the first notes. What a fantastic interplay!
I'll set apart an hour tonight to listen to the whole thing. Thank you!!

 

Edit - To the organizers: You *don't* interrupt a concert after the first two songs to discuss things. Especially a concert like this!
