I've been spinning "Where is Home" and I have to say it just sounds so lush and full for two people. I was lucky enough to see them last year at Downtown Music, so I know they can pull this off live too, which is amazing. Just wanted to show some love for this fine new band and here's hoping we see a new release soon.
Great band

I blame Wynton, what was the question?
There are only 10 types of people in the World, those who understand binary and those that don't.
They are working on new things, and they keep quite active here.
Biggest news on the J&A front is their first Euro tour in May. Still being planned, but hopefully will hit France, Switzerland, Italy and a bit more...

Saw them last week at Union Arts in DC, along with Blue Cranes and a (terrific) band called Leap. J&A were really great, and I believe they played some new material for a future release.
If you're actually reading this then chances are you already have my last album but if NOT and you're curious:

I'm going to catch the Anthony Pirog Trio in Brooklyn tonight. I have no idea what to expect, and I'm excited.
Expect to see one of the younger unsung masters of guitar in a very different context.

One of my favourite albums of recent years. Really beautiful.
This was one of my best discoveries of 2013. They're a very creative duo and totally "progressive". Nice find, Steve!
I'm holding out for the Wilson-mixed 5.1 super-duper walletbuster special anniversary extra adjectives edition.
Great disc, through and through, and the opening track is absolutely killer.

Wonderful album!

For those who haven't heard them, this is a good taste of what they do:

picked this up when it came out....nice duo and nice sound!! [love that video Steve!!]
I just had an interesting thought: how cool would it be if Robert Fripp built a future incarnation of King Crimson around these two?

Thanks for the link, Steve. Wow! They are good. I've only got time for 4 minutes of the video; I heard some "Eights Miles High" influence in there. Good stuff!Originally Posted by Steve F.

Looking forward to my day in court.
Another nice video of J&A from last summer, filmed with permission and posted by a PE member and pal:
