This is their first recording together, a compilation of duet performances from 2017 and 2018 that document a relationship that can sound like the intimate get-together of two old friends: whispered asides, excited exclamations, utterances that coincide with practiced harmony, followed by bursts of laughter. "Ain't misbehavin'!" shouts one. "Waahhhh!!!" says the other. (That's actually Shepp speaking both parts - but you get the idea.)Shepp and Moran first met backstage at Belgium's annual JazzMiddelheim festival in 2015. In five quick years, their friendship has grown, and they've taken the opportunity to perform together: as co-headliners or as guests at each other's gigs, in Europe and the US, sometimes with a rhythm section and singers, and just as often just the two of them. The performances here are from two encounters: "Motherless Child", "He Cares", "Slow Drag" and "Isfahan" from a performance at the annual Paris festival Jazz à la Villette in 2017 and the remaining tracks from the 2018 edition of the Enjoy Jazz Festival in Mannheim, Germany.
