Behind this duo are the Japanese pianist Yuko Oz and the Swiss vibraphonist Erich Fischer, who can also be heard on “Tiger Waltz” as a percussionist and singer. The dialogue between piano and vibraphone is subtle and delicate, on pieces such as “El Ultimo Tango” and “Joey’s Mambo” Latin American influences become clear. But mainly the two masters of the ballad, in songs like “For Juli & Rosina” or “Ballad for Camill” it is the worn melodies that make up the magic of their music. Yuko & Joey are rarely about solo virtuosity, it is listening to each other and exploring the musical material together that is their primary interest. Loosely based on Duke Ellington – “Jazz is the liberty of having a lot of forms” – they engage in stylistic diversity and also discover poetic beauty in traditional formats such as the title track or the “Unison Blues”.
