SMALL TALK Here is the interaction and sonic possibilities of the classical guitar and acoustic bass in a jazz setting. Techniques such as arco and harmonics, as well as liberal reharmonizations, have been used throughout to create an adventurous improvisation and extensive interaction between these two excellent musicians. Small Talk is an extraordinary collection of jazz standards arranged and performed by guitarist Jim Hershman and bassist Eric von Essen. This CD features melodic arrangements and exciting improvisations on pieces by Rogers and Hart, Mancini, Mandel, Evans and others. Now the Small Talk CD also is available packaged with five attractive note cards depicting the beautiful cover art for $19.99. The note cards are blank inside and matching envelopes are included.
