The bio of these two musicians expresses it clearly: "They were made to meet." What this means is that these two just had to get together to make music at some point. Because the two soul-brother virtuosos of the strings draw material from the same abundant source of American roots music and, as a guitarist and mandolin player, they complement each other perfectly and at a breathtakingly high level as well.
On "A Walk With You", they present their instrumentalists with surefooted lightness and an intuitive sense of interpretation. Varying arrangements with double bass, fiddle and banjo and emphasis on Appalachian music, swing, Celtic folk, ragtime and waltzes give these tunes with a tradition coloring a new freshness that one could easily call "new global bluegrass". That would not be an exaggeration. With "A Walk With You", these two exceptional musicians invite the listener to join them in a highly entertaining musical stroll to discover new and captivating music.
