Not long after it was issued, they performed at the 1990 JazzTimes Conference in New Orleans. That's where I got to meet both men and I've had a chance to hang with Bill Mays many times over the years. He even played at Hot House editor Paul Blair's memorial service in 2012. One To One Two is just as good.

Oh man. I am JEALOUS that you've had the opportunity to meet & hang with so many cool musicians!!!  

Re: the CD -- I'll keep my eyes open for Volume 2.

Just after Christmas 2015, Nancy and I made a trip to West Palm Beach, had dinner with he and his wife Judy on Saturday night at a great Italian place, then caught him at a Palm Beach hotel playing for brunch. What was odd is that most diners chose to sit out by the pool rather than inside and enjoy the music. Unfortunately that gig came to an end earlier this winter with a change in management.

John Stein & Dave Zinno   Wood and Strings  (Whaling City Sound). A new release, but there's no image up on their website.

Bobby Avey - Inhuman Wilderness (innerVoiceJazz, 2016)
with Thomson Kneeland (b), Jordan Perlson (d), and John O'Gallagher (as, on tracks 2, 3, 6, 8)

Avey has released (I think) four CDs so far, and I've heard three of them.  This newest one is his best so far, imho. (And they've all been good.)  But this one is REALLY good. If pianists like Richie Beirach or Russ Lossing or Marc Copland (who's the executive producer on this record) appeal to you, you might want to look into Avey.
