Jack and Jill Bios https://www.jackgrasseljilljensen.com/jack-and-jill-autobiography.html
"Few duos in music history are on the level of Jack Grassel and Jill Jensen. They give a no-holds-barred, entertaining, jazz and blues show using familiar pop tunes to display their impressive improvising skills and telepathic interplay. The music is honest, aggressive and filled with creative surprises. Jack has refined his abilities to play melody, harmony and bass lines simultaneously on many instruments. Jill sounds consistently beautiful while gliding through tricky melodies and complex chord changes with ease.
The result is a very big sound from two people." (reviewer Scott Yanow)
