Brooklyn-based Red Piano Records is proud to announce the release of GRAY MOON featuring pianists Ran Blake and Frank Carlberg. This recording is an addition to the rare collection of two-piano albums, and Blake’s second full album dedicated to two-piano works (the first being Improvisations with Jaki Byard, Soul Note in 1981). Carlberg has also released a duo piano album, titled Shadows and Reflections (2015 on Red Piano Records) with fellow pianist Leo Genovese (the album also features Fender Rhodes, organ and Farfisa in addition to acoustic piano.)

On a hot July afternoon Blake and Carlberg entered the historic Jordan Hall in Boston. Two immaculate Steinway Concert Grand pianos are set up next to each other on stage. The two pianists begin exploring songs and pieces from a wide variety of sources, including music from Greece (Vradiazi) and Catalonia (El Cant Dels Ocells); pieces from cinematic sources (Dr. Mabuse, Pinky); jazz standards (Take The A Train, Round Midnight, Mood Indigo); a 70’s soul classic (Wish I Could Talk To You Baby); songs from the Great American Songbook (Tea For Two, No More), original compositions with autobiographical elements (Short Life Of Barbara Monk, Gunther’s Magic Row), an original piece which references historical events (Memphis). Gray Moon offers the listener a work from mature, seasoned artists, at the peak of their expressive powers.
