"Billy Strayhorn was my right arm, my left arm, all the eyes in the back of my head, my brain waves in his head, and his in mine." – Duke Ellington

Two of jazz's most compelling artists unite to celebrate the music of Duke Ellington and Billy Strayhorn. Pianist and composer Eric Scott Reed and acclaimed vocalist René Marie explore the elegance, sophistication, and swing of one of the greatest songwriting partnerships in American music. From "Take the 'A' Train" and "Chelsea Bridge" to "Lush Life" and beyond, Reed and company honor the enduring legacy of their singular collaboration.

A leading voice on the contemporary jazz scene for more than three decades, Reed has been praised by DownBeat as "one of those tremendously gifted players," while All About Jazz notes that he has "fully established himself at the forefront of jazz pianists." While Marie brings her unmistakable, emotional depth to these enduring classics. JazzTimes has called her "one of contemporary jazz's finest vocalists," while another JazzTimes review described her as "utterly transfixing."
