Two is an album by American jazz saxophonist Jemeel Moondoc and pianist Connie Crothers, which was recorded at Connie's Brooklyn loft in 2011 and released on Relative Pitch, a NYC based record label founded by Mike Panico and Kevin Reilly.

Reception

The JazzTimes review by Mike Shanley states "Jazz duets often get described as 'conversations' between the two players, and this session clearly falls into that category. While a topic or two goes on a little too long, the overall discussion yields sharp points and empathetic support."
