A feature article on Ebony & Ivory appears in the March issue of International Musician, the official journal of the American Federation of Musicians (Circulation: 100,000+). Entitled "Making a Perfect Harmony," the article focuses on the international nature of Ebony & Ivory: Ebony (Fred Jacobowitz) lives in North Carolina; Ivory (Andrew Gilpin) lives in Ontario, Canada. In addition, the article notes that Andrew was completely home-schooled, while Fred is a double Juilliard graduate. To quote from the article: "Ebony & Ivory is at the forefront of a new approach to repertoire and performance known as 'instrumental fusion' . . . and is in demand for concert series throughout the continental United States and Canada."  read full article

Dr. Susan Buehler, Director of the Artist & Lecture Series at Baker University in Baldwin City, Kansas, was kind enough to write the following letter in response to Ebony & Ivory's appearance at Baker:

"As director of the Baker University Artist & Lecture Series, I am writing to you to convey my sincerest thank you! for sending the artists Ebony & Ivory our way! Each one exhibited amazing skill and musicianship in their performance and together produced an inspiring level of artistry. Seldom have I heard such an expressive duo and the encore number, Summertime, was, without a doubt, one of the most sensitive and sensuous performances of that song that I have ever heard! The audience loved them and their music and left the hall marveling at what they had just seen and heard.

"Thank you, again."
