Paolo Alderighi, Stephanie Trick - Double Trio Always (2016)

The most acclaimed four-hands jazz piano duo presents a studio album with fourteen original arrangements of jazz classics with their Double Trio combo. Paolo Alderighi (from Milan, Italy) and Stephanie Trick (from St. Louis, Missouri) have been working together as a four-hands jazz piano duo since 2011. In this album (their fourth together after "Two for One”, "Sentimental Journey” and “Double Trio Live 2015") they present fourteen original arrangements of jazz classics with their “Double Trio” combo: four-hands piano duo plus rhythm section. This studio recording features their Italian rhythm section and complements the previous Double Trio album. Paolo and Stephanie met at a piano festival in Boswil (near Zürich), Switzerland, in 2008 and started to work together on a four-hands piano project dedicated to classic jazz, preparing arrangements of songs from the Swing Era, as well as drawing from the ragtime and blues repertoire. The convention of four hands on one piano is very common in classical music but a fairly rare occurrence in jazz, due to the fact that jazz is an improvised music.
