"Carl Sonny Leyland is well known in the U.S. as a powerful blues, boogie-woogie, and stride pianist as well as being a fine blues singer. Lluis Coloma from Spain is an equally strong blues and boogie-woogie pianist. The two pianists are very much complete bands by themselves. On Telling Our Stories, Leyland and Coloma team up as a duo to perform a set of rollicking music. Occasionally, as on the opening "Boogie Woogie Gallop," the ensembles get a bit overcrowded, but most of the time the pianists adapt their solo styles to this format, joyfully playing off of each other ... Sonny Leyland and Lluis Coloma obviously had a fun time making this CD, and listeners will share their enjoyment. The music is so infectious that it will leave everyone smiling".
