This album was released in 1980 by Steve Kuhn, an American pianist who has been active since the early 60's and who has written many masterpieces for ECM, and Sheila Jordan, an American female singer who has also been active since the 60's. Harvie Swartz (b) and Bob Moses (dr) join them. Sheila Jordan's voice is a little delicate, but she has a distinctive voice, and it dances elegantly throughout the album. The melodious A3/B1 with Steve Kuhn's piano, which soars with emotion over the time signature, is particularly wonderful.
