This is some of Steve Howe%27s most consistent and well-played guitar I have ever heard. It seems that collaborating with another virtuoso payed off. These songs may feature Steve%27s incredible signature style and sound gracing everything from Yes to his solo material, but this is not Fragile and not Beginnings and not Turbulence. No keyboards/synthesizers, no vocals, and no nonsense; just two guitars. These songs are the two player%27s interpretation of jazz, standards and other styles. Easy going and mellow, yet with a bouncy energy. A little more tasteful and restrained, but still with amazing picking techniques. Obviously Martin Taylor is also a major contributor to this duo%27s accomplishment, and I feel that they work well together, bringing out the best in each other. A couple of song choices/interpretations struck me the wrong way, such as "Moonriver," but overall the cd is a masterwork.
