 Paul Murphy, drums
 Larry Willis, piano
 
 Paul Murphy, the legendary Jimmy Lyons' blazingly fast drummer, inspired this history-making session — an inspired depths in Larry Willis' piano you'll hear nowhere else. Musician's love Larry's compositions. But, until now, few knew he could compose brilliant complete pieces in the moment. The music in Volume 1 focused on the boundary between jazz and classical. This CD, Volume 2, is all about melody and swinging and the breathtaking drama of two masters improvising with one mind. Fred Kaplan picked The Powers Of Two as one of the "Ten Best of the Year", and Volume 2 is even better!
