The Pete & Vic Duo (Curious Automata 2014)by The Pete & Vic DuoSwing jazz from the golden age of the American songbook.

“Superb musicianship… to make such a dynamic, emotional take on “Ose Shalom” with just the vibes and acoustic… sounds wonderful!”
Mike White (Mike White Presents)

Vibraphonist Peter Ehrmann and guitarist Vic Dillahay began working together in a modern jazz group, but the music of the swing era soon became their focus. “We would have rehearsals with Graphite Addiction but they often ended before Pete and I were ready to stop playing” explained Vic. “Since Pete’s vibes were already set up we decided he and I might as well play a few more tunes.” Those “few more tunes” soon turned into several dozen standards drawn from the golden age of American song and the after hours jam became a regular group.

This album is a collection of some of Pete and Vic’s favorites from those songs.
