From WWR

Jeff Gardner plays piano and David Friesen a futuristic instrument called a Hemage Bass. Don't worry, it sounds like a normal double bass, whether its lightness of touch is due to technical properties or Friesen's complete mastery of the thing, I can't confirm. Given the over-all prowess of the playing, I do suspect the latter to be the case. Both men, like many on the Khaeon payroll, are well-known "unknowns". That is to say, they have a strong track record and are highly regarded within sections of the jazz world but are hardly instantly recognisable to the general public. That probably won't change unduly quickly, but jazz fans will not be excused if in future discussions of contemporary pianists and bassists these two don't feature.

Their combined styles are "in the tradition" with Grace tending towards a dinner-jazz/chamber feel (but without the superficiality of the first and the solemnity of the second). There is a slight South American flavour to some tunes, but it is more Ortiz than Jorge Ben. Gardner has a fondness for little nods to every era of piano playing and Friesen has something of a guitarist's approach to solos while never losing his grip on the texture and tone that the bass traditionally provides. They inter-act perfectly, and as for harmonic and compositional competence, well, Blanton and Ellington themselves would be proud of the latest jazz-men to follow in their footsteps. read more.
