Duo & Trio is an album by jazz pianist Roberto Magris released on the JMood label in 2022, featuring performances by Magris on duo with saxophonist Mark Colby and on trio with his group from Kansas City. Colby performs on the odd-numbered tracks, the trio on the even-numbered.
Reception The All About Jazz review by Jack Bowers awarded the album 4 stars and simply states: "a forceful one-two punch, initiated by Magris and Colby and completed by his sure-handed trio." The JazzWax review by Mark Myers states: "Magris's new album is truly special, particularly the way in which the two different formats were combined, leap-frogging over each other. And Magris's playing is lush and on point and his technique stellar, shifting from bop to a more introspective and moody feel.."
