Inside Voice / Outside Voice

Timothy Hill brings his vocals and guitar to Michael Bisio's bass for these avant-garde influenced jazz songs that welcome 3 originals, as well as interpretations of 3 ballads and 3 improvised classics.

"Wise One" opens the listen with soft bass plucking and atmospheric guitar playing in the very minimal climate, and "My One And Only Love" follows with a soft, folksy quality that showcases Hill's poetic singing.

Halfway through, the manipulated bass of "Law Years" comes with playful, wordless vocals, while "I Fall In Love Too Easily" finds a very romantic place to reside with its gentle bass and emotive vocals.

"Bridge" and "For All We Know" exit the listen, where the former is focused much on tone thanks to Bisio's cautious bass, and the latter finishes with a dreamy demeanor of mesmerizing guitar and eloquent singing.

A very striking listen that was captured in one continuous, unedited take, the duo blend classical, jazz and folk with thoughtful, heartfelt affection.
