What People Are Saying About
David Zoffer & Adam Larrabee

"...simply sizzles with every measure...captured intimacy at its very essence...a wellspring of pure melodic creation, a rare accomplishment...as bold as a true love that cannot be denied or dismissed... innate telepathy is most astounding...huge heart and soul behind the technical abilities...remarkable...one-of-a-kind in depth, substance and most important, emotion."

"ThereÕs great tenderness, sensitivity, and grace on this wonderful CD. Though it is all new music, and decidedly more modern, itÕs reminiscent of the masterful Bill Evans & Jim Hall duets in its level of musicianship and interplay."
- Bob Moses, jazz and world music legend and writer.

"One of the year's top ten albums...Chamber Jazz...Scorcher, belongs in your permanent collection lyricalÉcan't ...help being drawn in...chemistry so intuitive they might as well be one person...remarkable ephemeral webs of steel...keep you asking "How did they ever think of that?"... like eavesdropping on a personal conversation between two playfully intelligent artists."
