jazz duets
Two-player swing sessions
Jazz duets are musical performances or recordings featuring two jazz musicians playing together, typically without a larger ensemble.
The format strips jazz to its conversational essence—two voices trading phrases, responding, and improvising off each other: The album features intimate jazz duets between piano and bass.
The pairing might be any two instruments, including voice.
