Double Vision — Jazz Ensemble

Double Vision emerged as a pioneering jazz recording project through its 1977 Muse Records release featuring dual piano performances by bebop masters Hank Jones and Red Garland. The landmark album, later reissued by Original Jazz Classics in 1993, captured the rare synchronicity of two pianos in sophisticated jazz arrangements. The project's studio work established a blueprint for multi-keyboard jazz recordings in both technical approach and artistic execution. Live performances expanded the Double Vision concept, notably during a 1977 Stockholm session pairing Hank Jones with bassist Red Mitchell. The ensemble's repertoire spans both standards and original compositions, including signature pieces "Lady Had a Good Time" and "Little Waltz." Their stage presentations require specific technical parameters, detailed in comprehensive audio plots that accommodate complex instrumental configurations. The project's documentation preserves significant moments in bebop piano history through both recorded material and performance archives. Double Vision's technical specifications have influenced modern jazz ensemble production practices. The recordings serve as reference points for musicians and historians studying collaborative jazz piano techniques of the late 1970s.
