Still more from the Second City student ...

"Not the funniest of the Nichols and May albums, this is the duo's first CD. It consists of various piano pieces which they use as a springboard to launch into improv sets. None of them really made me laugh out loud, but more than one are oddly touching. Recommended for enthusiasts."

"A terrific improv experiment. Nichols and May listened to selections of music and then created new scenes in counterpoint. In some cases, the dialogue and the music seem to borrow rhythms from each other. In scene after scene, there is the telling use of concrete details, swiftly establishing the characters' social classes, educations, philosophical leanings, etc. "Bach to Bach," a post-coital conversation between two intellectuals trying to impress each other, is some kind of masterpiece in this regard. Improvisers today still have much to learn from these two. An essential part of a comedy/improv collection."

"Absolutely amazing, clever, well-organized. Some of the funniest and best comedic bits i've ever heard. the music is prime and the characters, eerily and horribly fun."
