About Two for the Road

American Broadway songs with a classy touch became the recognizable feature of vocalist Jill Seifers (1965-2012) and pianist Mika Pohjola at the turn of the millenium. Seifers and Pohjola met in Boston in the early 90's, and started making frequent appearances with their repertory in New York City. This duo proudly performed classics by Cole Porter, Dmitri Tiomkin and Richard Rodgers, not to forget Elvis Costello. The repertoire contained songs which are forgotten by many of today's jazz musicians. It is the contrast between Seifers' heartfelt yet simple vocal stylings and Pohjola's lush harmonies which made this duo and this album particularly fresh and a truly special one. The renditions express masterful lyricism in music and words. Jill Seifers tragically died in December 2012.

This is a newly remastered edition of the original album from 2025, featuring improved balance between the voice and piano, enhanced clarity, and a more refined dynamic range. The remaster stays true to the spirit of the original while offering a cleaner, updated sound.

Recommended for both new listeners and longtime fans who want to experience the album in its best possible form.

For those who prefer the original sound, the CD edition remains available and features the original 2008 master.
