In contrast to Baerman’s penchant for concept albums, the material on Alter Ego is more loosely bound together, though all the chosen compositions are love songs of one sort or another. After hundreds of performances and eight prior albums together, plus several more as fellow sidemen on others’ projects, the two were well equipped to just roll tape and play. Finding himself with a couple unused hours of studio time at the New Haven, CT studio Firehouse 12, Baerman and Lugo went in and in 90 minutes reeled off a seven-song set in order, all but one of them in single takes. ![]() This album was conceived spontaneously surrounding a session for Baerman’s previous release, Love Right. While Baerman had been documented performing duets before (including a duet with Ron Carter on Baerman’s 2003 album Patch Kit and several duets on his 2005 appearance on Marian McPartland’s long-running NPR program Piano Jazz), he had never spotlighted the duo format. Years past the point where Baerman expected to be forced into retirement by the impact of Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, we can hear his enduring command of the piano and the important role that Lugo’s buoyant support and creative stimulation have provided to enable it. Baerman’s first “standards” album, Alter Ego displays the pair’s near-telepathic interplay and shared sense of groove.
