Product Description
They say they started performing together in the womb, one snapping fingers and the other humming melodies. They both went on to PhD's, one in Physics and one in Math. But they couldn't stop playing music, even when they were separated by the Atlantic Ocean, one in New York and the other in Paris. If you don't believe in the twin bond, you'd have to rethink that after watching Francois Moutin and Louis Moutin perform together. A tighter and more amazing rhythm section cannot be found in the jazz world.

5 out of 5 stars Twins!!!.......2007-02-08

This entire album is so incredibly solid. Every note, every tap, every accentuation, not only fits, but fits perfectly. It's to the point where you would expect them to have done hundreds of different takes for each track, but having seen Francois live, I know that's just the way he plays. The bass lines are incredibly melodic, not only in his solos, but in all his walking lines and rhythmic hits. I would mention how tight the bass and piano are, but then I would have to mention how every component of the group is tight with another. The performance on this album is so melodically and rhythmically sound. I guess that's one of the benefits of having a rhythm section proficient in mathematics (Francois and Louis both studied Engineering, Math, and Physics, if you're not familiar with their backgrounds).

This album definitely has the elements of European jazz in it: a little more meticulous than soulful, acute determination, and an approach to polyphony reminiscent of classical compositions. But it is also immensely personal and rich with emotion. The dynamics are also extremely well placed and natural. The compositions, with the exception of Bird's Medley, were all composed by either Francois or Louis, and are both complex and wonderfully listenable.

If I had a top 15 or 20 list going, this album would definitely be somewhere on it. It has the complexity and creativity I long for, the melodies and rhythms I enjoy, the excellent performance and communication I admire, and the passion that I inspires me to strive to be a better musician. There are few albums that can mimic the live-like feel of seeing a performance in person, but I think this does it almost as effectively as can be done. I'll give it two thumbs up, but only because that's all I have.

    4 out of 5 stars A bargain collection of showtunes.......2005-08-19

    This bargain collection of showtunes is highlighted by the composition of Kurt Weill and the uniquely rolling tongue of Colette Lyons. I have a complaint about this compilation. It includes "Ol' Man River", but it excludes Al Jolson's rendition of "Ol' Man River." Otherwise, this collection gives you ample bang for your buck.

        Album Description

        The first CD from D.C.'s contrarian pioneers sounded out of step in the grunge-laden wilds of 1994, but now sounds like the beginning of something else entirely. A potent capsule of postmodern anti-nostalgia, Look What's Left glorified the charms of '60s melodicism at the height of grunge. It recalled the literate, soul-inflected pathos of the Byrds at the zenith of a renaissance in neo-garage rock. It's a delectable confection. Have a taste.
