Silences between movements are employed only in order to bring the opposing duo to the fore.
2
John Darnielle
I'd played with Jon Wurster as a duo just for a lark.
3
Benny Green
We have different personalities, but in a harmonious way, I'd say. Anyway, we were booked to play at the festival as a duo; and we decided we wouldn't have any rehearsal.
4
Benny Green
The first time we performed as a duo, we had already been playing together in various situations.
5
Will Hermes
'Rhye' clearly plays with notions of sexual identity, and it has made a concerted effort to keep its own identity mysterious. Its love songs are gender-neutral, the members have declined to appear in their own videos, and you'd be hard-pressed to find a photo of the duo that doesn't cast them in shadows.
6
Richard Hyung-ki Joo
I am the pianist of the duo, although Aleksey does pretty good... you know we've written more and more stuff where he has to play the piano. But you know, to be very honest, I actually went into music because I wanted to be a composer and a conductor. And piano was just one of the ways to get into that.
7
Jenny Lewis
I come from a duo, actually, quite literally. My parents are Linda and Eddie, and they had an act in Vegas called 'Love's Way.'
8
Sheridan Smith
My brother is the lead singer of The Torn, and my parents are in a country duo.
