    Don't let the title distract you. This is not modern music, it's just more tonal/triadic doodeling from two friends. I"ve heard more convincing dueling pianos by two whinos at the local bar blowing though old Billy Joel tunes. I"m not sure why they needed to call someone in to make transcriptions of these. The Reich extract sounds like a great idea, but it doesn't elicit the same feel with just pianos. The Glass,......well, really? I mean.... common, get real! This smacks of a failed vanity project. The skimpy liner notes mention that they had a Strauss piece (Metamorphosen) and Part's Tabula Rasa (!) as two transcriptions that didn't make the cut. Sadly the liner notes where just a pop magazine style interview by all involved rather than an extended essay by Mehldau. Much as I admire all the people involved, I'd have to advise anyone to pass over this. To call this sub par would be too kind! -Bz
