Charlie Rouse's groundbreaking album Two Is One is an exhilarating exploration of the funkier side of jazz that highlights the innovative spirit of Strata-East. Recorded in 1974, Rouse seamlessly blends sophisticated soul jazz with post-bop and spiritual influences while featuring stellar collaborations with guitarists George Davis and Paul Metzke, as well as Cal Scott on electrified cello and the incomparable Stanley Clarke on electric bass.
