First time on vinyl for this 2011 album by bassist Christian McBride featuring duets with an array of stars including Anglique Kidjo, Sting, Chick Corea, George Duke, Dee Dee Bridgewater, Roy Hargrove and others. Limited Edition, regular weight orange coloured vinyl with foil stamped numbers.

Christian McBride is a loquacious raconteur in addition to his finger-busting bass skills, though make no mistake about it - the only talk on this release is the musical kind two instruments make. Christian can converse with the best of them, as his Sirius/XM show will attest though these conversations sit him down in the studio with a diverse array of guests for unexpected and often amazing results. The resulting duets lay bare skill and emotion in the visceral tradition of real jazz improvisation.
