1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:09,400
You both have nominated for Latin Grammy, both, and Carlos, you won five awards, right?

2
00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:10,400
Six.

3
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:11,400
Six Grammys.

4
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:12,400
Yeah.

5
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:20,040
Two in composition, two in tango, and one with an album that I did, a duet with a fabulous

6
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:22,800
jazz bass player, Eddie Gomez.

7
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:25,760
Alison, you are also nominated.

8
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:26,760
Yeah.

9
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:30,440
I've been nominated twice for Grammys and three for Latins.

10
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:33,720
And my name is on one of his wins.

11
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:35,160
Carlos won for composition.

12
00:00:35,160 --> 00:00:40,600
It was a piece that I recorded, but I'm not the winner because the piece won, not the

13
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:41,600
recording itself.

14
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:44,600
In my book you are.

15
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:46,120
Aw.

16
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:49,720
You know people call a duo like you, power couple, right?

17
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:50,720
Actually, yeah.

18
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:56,000
We have been referred to that way, which we find really fascinating because we really

19
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:57,400
just do what we do.

20
00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:02,200
And the good thing is that, I must say, I mean, she's the pianist, she's the concert

21
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:03,200
pianist.

22
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:04,480
I am a composer.

23
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:09,120
So we share things, but we don't get to the point of competing.

24
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:11,560
We, it's not that we compensate each other.

25
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:12,560
We compliment.

26
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:13,560
We compliment.

27
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:14,560
That's the word you're looking for.

28
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:15,560
You know.

29
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:17,840
We've been extraordinarily fortunate that way.

30
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:23,180
We're very, very respectful of each other's work, very separately, as well as everything

31
00:01:23,180 --> 00:01:24,760
that we've done together.

32
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:28,720
You know, you are basically finishing sentences to each other.

33
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:29,720
So cute.

34
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:30,720
So sweet.

35
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:31,720
That's so sweet.

36
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:38,440
So yeah, working together for us is really very organic.

37
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:39,440
And it was.

38
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:40,440
We have fun working together.

39
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:41,440
Yeah, we really do.

40
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:45,800
And we have fun traveling together and working together.

41
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:50,240
Then later in the episode, we moved on to more reflective conversation.

42
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:53,280
You have to be willing to adjust to the times.

43
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:58,560
And the world that we originally were brought up in has nothing to do with the world we're

44
00:01:58,560 --> 00:01:59,560
in.

45
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:04,280
It really has changed that radically in so many ways.

46
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:09,480
You know, just the fact that we're having this conversation a few years ago, we wouldn't

47
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:12,840
have done it.

48
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:19,760
But classical music matters because it's something that narrates a time, narrates a state of

49
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:20,760
mind.

50
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:24,880
We can't have impressionistic music at the time of Bach.

51
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:30,960
It happened because it was a whole movement of painting, of literature, of music.

52
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,600
So it's a time.

53
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:35,400
And that's what culture does.

54
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:36,940
Culture is history.

55
00:02:36,940 --> 00:02:37,940
And so is music.

56
00:02:37,940 --> 00:02:41,240
Music is our history.

57
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:46,140
