Rooted in their decades-long friendship and driven by an adventurous spirit of creative camaraderie, contemporary jazz icons Bob James and Dave Koz mark a unique milestone in both their careers with the aptly titled duo album Just Us. A piano and saxophone only collection of fresh originals and colorful re-imaginings of Great American Songbook standards, its inspired format-free from the usual complementary support of a traditional rhythm section – liberates both to venture spontaneously beyond the trademark sounds that fueled their superstardom and years of Billboard chart-topping successes – and into a more spontaneous, organic soundscape ripe with dynamic new possibilities.
