about

Ben Wood and Eve Seltzer conceived of this album during the COVID lockdown of 2020. They chose tunes that reflected how they felt in isolation, and arranged them for a duo setting to capture the intimacy of the hours they spent on the couch playing music together in their Brooklyn apartment. The title, "Pairings," is a nod to Ben Wood's work as a sommelier; in fact, the CD includes drink suggestions for each song.
