The self-titled new album from acclaimed vocalist Gillian Margot and piano virtuoso Geoffrey Keezer presents an intimate musical conversation that spans the breadth of the American Songbook and beyond, with masterful interpretations that showcase their remarkable artistic chemistry. Recorded at Brooklyn’s Bunker Studio in December 2024, the album features sublime renditions of jazz standards like “Lush Life” and “The Peacocks,” alongside thoughtfully reimagined works by Hermeto Pascoal, Peter Gabriel, and Chick Corea. Blending technical brilliance with emotional depth, Margot and Keezer—partners in music and life for over a decade —create a performance environment of boundless flexibility and mutual responsiveness, allowing each song to unfold with spontaneity while honoring the rich traditions from which they draw inspiration.

PRESS QUOTES for the new GM+GK duo album

“Margot’s got one of those voices you don’t forget — rich, smoky, and totally in control, gliding across registers with ease. Keezer stays out of the way when she’s singing, then jumps in with the perfect turn of phrase, like he knows exactly where the story needs to go next.” — Tim Larsen, Jazz Views

“…inconceivable that this duo recording would be anything other than the triumphant coming together, musically speaking, of two like-minded souls.” – Lance Liddle, Bebop Spoken Here

“[Keezer] is a brilliant soloist and a sensitive accompanist. Paired with the sincere and masterful vocalist, Gillian Margot, they make an outstanding duo.” – Dee Dee McNeil, Making a Scene

“…not merely a collection of covers, it is a reverent, reimagined body of work, shaped by memory, skill, and deep musical empathy. For the right listener, it will feel like falling gently into a kind of wistful poetry, one that lingers long after the final note.” – Thierry De Clemensat, Paris-Move

“A sublime pairing—two musicians doing what they love, and letting us listen in.” — Tim Larsen, Jazz Views

“Give the couple ten pieces of magic to work on and the resulting product is beyond perfection.” – Lance Liddle, Bebop Spoken Here

“…an album plush with spontaneity, while always honoring the composer’s song melodies. The duo presentation is wonderful, with each artist interjecting their own creativity and style in a cozy, harmonious way. There is a comfort level they radiate and share with us, like the warm, welcoming smile of a close friend.” – Dee Dee McNeil, Making a Scene
