I Love Erroll, I Love James P. - double album (physical only)
Released November 2020
This special double album brings together two extraordinary figures in jazz piano, Erroll Garner and James P. Johnson, and highlights their compositional legacy. On Disc 1, Stephanie masterfully interprets 19 original compositions of Johnson as a tribute to the Father of Stride Piano, who wrote not only brilliant display pieces in the stride tradition but also beautiful popular songs and lyrical numbers as well. Paolo joins in four-hands on 5 tracks #5, 8, 13, 15, and 18. On Disc 2, Paolo presents 12 rarely heard songs by Garner (plus #1, an original of his own, and #7, by Red Callender) in trio, in solo (on the beautiful ballads of #4, 10, 12, and 14), and with Stephanie as guest on percussion (on #6, 9, and 13). and illustrates that Garner's compositional legacy extends beyond "Misty." Paolo is featured on this CD with his trio, as well as in solo piano for four beautiful renditions of Garner's more intimate, introspective numbers.

Double Trio Always
In Double Trio Always and Double Trio Live 2015, Stephanie and Paolo present their four-hands duo with a rhythm section. These albums feature Stephanie and Paolo's concept of the "Double Trio," where they play four-hands on one piano with the rhythm section, and also leave room for each other to play alone with the trio. Even if the latter formation can't be considered four-hands piano playing in the traditional sense, the two pianists decided to use this approach quite often because it produces a distinctive musical result, unlike that of the standard jazz piano trio with one pianist, mainly due to the continuous juxtaposition of two styles of improvisation.
