The record

A duo session that trades on space and touch, Norris's crystalline pianism finding an ideal foil in Mraz's singing, precise bass lines. Recorded for Enja in the mid-'70s, it's a quiet showcase of two players who came up through Half Note and Blue Note dates listening closely to each other.
