4. Gee Baby Ain't I Good to YouSR5032: Two Piano Too Cool -- Lluîs Coloma AND Erwin Helfer
Order by Mail
I wanted to create an environment in which two friends chat, sometimes quietly and sometimes boisterously. The generosity, wisdom, and love that Erwin extends made everything easy. Each song has a dialogue with contrasts, silences full of expression, and history.
"Making this recording was a true honor for a self-taught boy who was born in the Hostafranchs neighborhood in Barcelona. It was a unique experience that fills me with feelings of joy to continue keeping the tradition of this music alive." —
Erwin Helfer was introduced to Spanish pianist Lluîs Coloma by Barrelhouse Chuck. Erwin and Lluîs have maintained their close relationship through the years. Lluîs visits with Erwin whenever he tours the states, e.g., when he performs at the San Francisco Boogie Woogie Festival. On November 17, 2022, during one of these visits, they recorded duets on two Fazioli pianos. Lluîs also recorded interpretations of two of Erwin's compositions. Listen and enjoy the private concert.
