Bassist Steve Swallow and pianist Carla Bley are both acclaimed jazz composers and performers with international reputations.

Bley and Swallow kick off the program with a duet version of Bley's composition "Major." Then, McPartland joins Bley for a unique duet on "Chopsticks," and they close the show as a trio with Bley's "Ad Infinitum."
