Peter and Wills debut release from 2012, Correspondence, features Kenny Barron and was listed in Vanity Fair magazine alongside Miles Davis in Four New Releases to Make You Love Jazz. The Washington Post called their music, imaginatively unfolding in ways that consistently bring a fresh perspective to classic jazz tunes. Their newest album, Deja Vu, features Albert Tootie Heath and was called a burner that reveals the bands cohesiveness and spirit byJazzTimes. In 2016, they performed live on Garrison Keillors Prairie Home Companion, playing a duo version of Lotus Blossom commemorating Billy Strayhorns centennial.
