Go Together is an album of duets by the American composer, bandleader and keyboardist Carla Bley and bassist Steve Swallow, recorded and released on the Watt/ECM label in 1993.[1][2] It is the pair's second duet recording following Duets (1988).
Reception
The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow stated: "A melodic but explorative player, Bley (whose use of space sometimes recalls Thelonious Monk) interacts closely with the electric bass of Steve Swallow on this excellent duet session".[3] The Penguin Guide to Jazz called it "an intriguingly relaxed and unhurried survey of (mostly) older material".[4]
