Duets pairs two jazz masters across generations: Ron Carter, the legendary double bass player who shaped jazz history alongside Miles Davis, Thelonious Monk, and Eric Dolphy; and Yotam Silberstein, celebrated for his solo work with JOJO Records as well as renowned collaborations with Roy Hargrove, George Coleman, and Jimmy Heath.
Conceived as a tribute to Carter's iconic duo recordings with guitarist Jim Hall, the album was recorded at Van Gelder Studio in Englewood Cliffs, NJ -- the very room where Carter has cut hundreds of sessions over his dazzling career. By pure happenstance, the session took place on December 4th: Jim Hall's birthday.
The eight-track program balances rare, carefully chosen standards with two original compositions by Silberstein, including Blues for Brother Malone, a bluesy tribute to the late guitarist Russell Malone -- a close friend of Yotam's and longtime member of Carter's band. Without a drummer, the duo creates a world that is fully melodic, harmonic, and rhythmic -- rooted in swing, elegance, and deep mutual listening. From the Brazilian opener "Nova Ilusão" to the playful up-tempo closer "Mil Dew", composed by tenor saxophonist Johnny Griffin, Carter and Silberstein move through the repertoire with the ease of two musicians who have found, in each other, the perfect conversational partner. It is, in the words of liner notes author T.J. English, "beyond special: ethereal, melodic and soulful, in a sacred space."
"With Ron, his understanding of the role of the bass is profound. He goes there every time, and it makes anything possible. He is the best." -- Yotam Silberstein
Liner notes by T.J. English. Featuring Ron Carter and Yotam Silberstein

Shipping, Returns & Cancellations
SHIPPING:
We ship Monday through Friday. Orders typically ship within 24-72 hours. Tracking is sent to the email you provide at check out and may take a few days to become active.
Any items ordered with Pre-Orders will be held until they can all ship together. If you need in stock items faster please order them seperately.
RETURNS:
Returns are only accepted on damaged or defective items. Return requests must be made within 7 days of delivery. Please save the original packaging.
If you own a Crosley, Victrola or any other lower end turntable that has no ability to adjust the weight of the tone arm and are experiencing skipping on a new record please try the "Penny Trick". Simply place a penny on the top of the cartidge and it should provide enough weight to resolve your issues. While a great entry to the world of vinyl we do recommend upgrading to a turntable with a tone arm that can be adjusted as this issue will randomly occur. We do not take returns in these cases.
Resellers: If you are buying from us for resale we honestly don't mind. However, please don't panic if something you bought suddenly isn't flipable for more money and then try to return stuff to us because you feel like you made a bad investment choice. Despite our outsized reputation we're a small shop, not amazon. Absorbing these costs adds up on places like ours. Plus a little patience always tends to pay off.
CANCELLATIONS:
Due to an increasing number of payment processors no longer returning transaction fees to sellers on cancelled orders and rising labor costs any orders or pre-orders that need to be cancelled before shipment will be assessed a 5% cancellation/restocking fee on the order total including shipping and any other taxes or fees associated with the order.
Thank you for your understanding.
