With the phenomenal technique of both Dick Hyman and Niels Pedersen, it's surprising to hear them together in such a low key setting; that doesn't mean that this CD is dull! Hyman was clearly in a reflective mood following his appearance at the Oslo Jazz Festival, though he shows a touch of playfulness during his arrangement of Chopin's "Waltz in C# Minor" and romping take of "Summertime." Pedersen, a veteran who's accompanied many jazz greats (especially Oscar Peterson and Bill Evans), fits Hyman like a glove with his equally impeccable playing. Because it's an import, it takes a little more effort to acquire, but it's worth it.~Ken Dryden
