Trumpeter Josh Deutsch and guitarist Nico Soffiato have been playing together as a duo since 2006, when they met in Boston. Over the years, the musical relationship born through this collaboration has resulted in a set of music composed specifically for this ensemble, including many co-written originals and reinvented arrangements of music from jazz, classical and popular worlds. The music ranges from electronic loops to entirely acoustic pieces, balancing carefully crafted compositions with space for exciting improvisations and interaction.
Their third album Redshift was released in 2020 on the label nusica.org and features two great drummers of the New York scene: Allison Miller and Dan Weiss. The new album Cloud Forest came out in April 2025 and features drummers Dave King, Rudy Royston and Bram Kincheloe. Deutsch and Soffiato perform regularly in the New York City area and have toured extensively in the US and Italy.
"...There's a comfort level in their exchanges that makes this music a pleasure to behold, regardless of complexity or intensity." – D. Bilawsky, All About Jazz
