Perhaps the most well-known jazz piano-vocal duo recordings were made in 1975 by Bill Evans and Tony Bennett. These performances are sui generis — a high-water mark of the form.

Sonny Clark defined the Blue Note sound of the late 1950s, but his promising career was cut short when he passed away at age 31. The pianist was inspired by moving to New York to realise his hard bop vision for his second album as leader: “Sonny’s Crib”.

My God.

This hit so hard.

Because you know what they're going to choose.

And it makes you feel like, as a species, we may be irredeemable. So many of us find just doing the basic decent thing an utter impossibility.
