You both have nominated for Latin Grammy, both, and Carlos, you won five awards, right?
Six.
Six Grammys.
Yeah.
Two in composition, two in tango, and one with an album that I did, a duet with a fabulous
jazz bass player, Eddie Gomez.
Alison, you are also nominated.
Yeah.
I've been nominated twice for Grammys and three for Latins.
And my name is on one of his wins.
Carlos won for composition.
It was a piece that I recorded, but I'm not the winner because the piece won, not the
recording itself.
In my book you are.
Aw.
You know people call a duo like you, power couple, right?
Actually, yeah.
We have been referred to that way, which we find really fascinating because we really
just do what we do.
And the good thing is that, I must say, I mean, she's the pianist, she's the concert
pianist.
I am a composer.
So we share things, but we don't get to the point of competing.
We, it's not that we compensate each other.
We compliment.
That's the word you're looking for.
You know.
We've been extraordinarily fortunate that way.
We're very, very respectful of each other's work, very separately, as well as everything
that we've done together.
You know, you are basically finishing sentences to each other.
So cute.
So sweet.
That's so sweet.
So yeah, working together for us is really very organic.
And it was.
We have fun working together.
Yeah, we really do.
And we have fun traveling together and working together.
Then later in the episode, we moved on to more reflective conversation.
You have to be willing to adjust to the times.
And the world that we originally were brought up in has nothing to do with the world we're
in.
It really has changed that radically in so many ways.
You know, just the fact that we're having this conversation a few years ago, we wouldn't
have done it.
But classical music matters because it's something that narrates a time, narrates a state of
mind.
We can't have impressionistic music at the time of Bach.
It happened because it was a whole movement of painting, of literature, of music.
So it's a time.
And that's what culture does.
Culture is history.
And so is music.
Music is our history.
