Heart & Soul (Ron Carter and Cedar Walton album)
Heart & Soul is an album of duets by bassist Ron Carter and pianist Cedar Walton that was recorded in 1981 and released on the Dutch Timeless label.
Reception
Allmusic awarded the album 3 stars, stating: "Heart & Soul is certainly not a loose 'blowing session'; it's clear that the duo's repertoire had carefully developed during a year of gigging together in Manhattan. At the same time, the music never feels overarranged and stiff; there is always room for spontaneity.... Recommended."
