Synopsis

Album Description
For her Ryko debut, the versatile pianist (and official Turkish State Soloist) Meral Guneyman teams up with legendary piano player, arranger and composer Dick Hyman to trade "playful" interpretations of a diverse group of works including Gershwin and a tribute to Django Reinhart. The album is a musical banter between two masterful artists who clearly delight in their craft and feed off of one another's unique creative spirit.

An extraordinary acheivement
Michael L. Weiss | 08/01/2007
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Listening to these two musicians embellish on Gershwin standards would make an athiest believe in God. If there's a better rendition of "I Got Rhythm" anywhere on the planet, I'd love to hear it - I'll bet Gershwin was smiling up in musical heaven when he heard this one - it feels like the artists are digging the earth's rhythm out of the soil with their hands, and making it dance. A must have for any Gershwin fan, and for anyone who appreciates piano virtuosity. Exceptional!"
