You're Alike, You Two - Caity Gyorgy and Mark Limacher

You're Alike, You Two is a duo album by vocalist Caity Gyorgy and pianist Mark Limacher, released in 2023. The seven-track program draws from the Great American Songbook, featuring Jerome Kern compositions including "I'm Old Fashioned," "I'll Be Hard to Handle," "Yesterdays," "You Couldn't Be Cuter," "Nobody Else but Me," and "A Fine Romance," alongside Gyorgy's original "April Fooled Me." The voice-and-piano duo format is among the most exposed settings in jazz, and Gyorgy and Limacher demonstrate the close rapport of musicians who have worked together extensively. Gyorgy's warm, rhythmically assured voice handles the Kern melodies with bebop-inflected phrasing and a natural swing feel, while Limacher's piano provides harmonically rich accompaniment that supports without crowding. The focus on Kern's music gives the album a thematic coherence, highlighting the melodic sophistication and harmonic elegance of a composer whose work has been central to the jazz vocal tradition since the 1930s. Following her Juno Award-winning album Featuring, this project showcases Gyorgy's interpretive skills in a more intimate context, letting the quality of the songs and the interplay between voice and piano carry the music.
