Marvin Stamm/Bill Mays Duo combines the talents of two classically-trained masters of Jazz and improvisation who have spent their professional careers at the pinnacle of Jazz performance, with groups like the Stan Kenton and Woody Herman big bands, numerous small ensembles, and in the studios of Hollywood and New York. In a duo setting, trumpeter Marvin Stamm and pianist Bill Mays explore the beauty, the excitement, the subtlety, and the grace of the world of music - the Great American Songbook, magnificent Jazz standards, even music from the classical world - all through the spontaneous interaction of Jazz and documented by their critically acclaimed CD, By Ourselves.
