JAZZ REVIEW by Patrick Romanowski, Petra Van Nuis and Dennis Luxion "From Me to You"
A duet in a quaint club on a Saturday night on the North Side of Chicago is a cozy affair.
Petra Van Nuis and Dennis Luxion divine that reverential and intimate feeling with high spirited elegance on their new album, “From Me To You.”
The release marks the follow-up to their 2018 debut “Because We’re Night People.” Expanding on their hip, nocturnal vibe, the duo delves into a fresh and vibrant collection of well crafted tunes.
