"...Copeland's playing tends to the tranquil and oblique without sacrificing an expressive strength, and although a piano/guitar duo session is almost obliged to be muted, this dialogue with the delectably subtle guitarist John Abercrombie (an old associate from the Hamilton band) is full of languid surprises. Three originals from each of them are mixed with a couple of standards and an Ornette Coleman blues. Abercrombie's care with the softest phrase, and Copland's glistening sound and delicate dynamics, make the spontaneous partnership more important than the materials. Nonetheless, the pianist's title track has a wistful sway, If I Should Lose You edges warily towards its theme before lifting it into walking swing, and Coleman's Blues Connotation turns a brittle, stop-start improv into a dark, riffy groove. It's niche music for insiders, maybe, but very absorbing". 2011 album.
