"It is more than fair to say that there was something innate, and perhaps more importantly, intimate, between road-clearing pianist Sylvie Courvoisier and rascally vibraphonist Patricia Brennan. 'Talamanti' proves that big time."
Lots of great new music added to the official Chart Room Media @Spotify playlist including @TheDynamicMiss Faye Carol, Cricket Blue, @JamieWebster94, @pfvibes and more - https://open.spotify.com/s/YYNLvYK
All About Jazz praises Talamanti for "...the symmetry and synchrony of Brennan and Courvoisier's talent and imagination."
"A Supreme Blue is a bold reminder that the strongest ensembles share the responsibility of leading the music." - Jazz Sensibilities on A Supreme Blue
