THE BACK STORY:

Walton and I met in October 2108 at a Sedona gig and he was in the opening act. I was so impressed with his playing I asked him onstage at the end of my set to perform a few improvisations with me. The audience gave us a standing ovation! Later, we decided the blending of these two little-known instruments was just too good to pass up. We recorded throughout the 9 months to produce this one-of-a-kind album that we know you will enjoy. You won’t believe your ears!

The album has already won a Silver Medal in the Instrumental category of the prestigious Global Music Awards!

Dick Metcalf of Contemporary Fusion Reviews said: “The entire album is a total winner! You’ll be just as highly impressed as I was; it’s almost like having a WHOLE jazz band playing for you right in your living room… I believe this album will be getting HUGE amounts of airplay in the coming months and years! I give Michael and Walton a MOST HIGHLY RECOMMENDED rating, with an “EQ” (energy quotient) score of 4.99 for this tantalizing sonic treasure.
