Under the Double Moon


Under the Double Moon is an album by pianist and composer Anthony Davis and vibraphonist Jay Hoggard recorded in West Germany in 1980 for the MPS label.

Reception

Allmusic awarded the album 3 stars, stating: "This is an interesting set of duets by pianist Anthony Davis and vibraphonist Jay Hoggard. With the exception of Duke Ellington's advanced "The Clothed Woman," the duo sticks to originals, some of which are quite complex. However, the mellow sound of their instruments make the improvisations seem more accessible than they really are".
