“The Duo Live” to be released December 2020

A new release from pianist Matthew Fries is coming in December, 2020!

The Duo Live was recorded live in concert in June 2018. It is a duo performance of Fries with Grammy-winning bassist Phil Palombi, and is a sort of tribute to the classic “duo gigs” made popular in NYC. The album is a collection of standards, straight-ahead jazz tunes by Wayne Shorter, John Coltrane, Clare Fischer and Donald Brown, plus a pair of originals by Matthew Fries.
