Through their first two releases, 2004"s Interconnection & 2006"s Escapade, guitarist Bob Sneider and pianist Paul Hofmann have developed a masterful and imaginative creative duo dynamic that coalesces here in their finest effort to date. The 66-minute program features original music by Hofmann and Sneider as well as covers of two classic jazz piano compositions - Peri"s Scope by Bill Evans and Inception, McCoy Tyner"s rollicking minor blues. Recorded by Kent Heckman at his famed Red Rock Recording in Saylorsburg, PA, Serve and Volley is a swinging, accessible and highly rewarding peek into a very creative relationship.
