Premier pianists Bill Charlap and Renee Rosnes may play together the Frank Loesser standard, “Never Will I Marry,” but in fact they are happily married. Until recently, they were not sure when they would ever get to record together.

"We’ve been married since 2007 and we wanted to make an album together and it finally came together last December," says Rosnes. "It’s kind of a dream come true for the two of us."

Their new CD is called “Double Portrait,” and the duo recently played some selections for NY1 at Steinway Hall on West 57th Street. Perhaps it is no surprise that they seem especially in tune with each other.

"It’s not like two pianists playing together. In a sense, it’s almost like both of us become this new entity -- four hands at two pianos becomes kind of a new pianist amalgamation of both of us," says Charlap.

"I feel like I can kind of do anything on the piano and Bill will get my back and Bill will be there to support me," says Rosnes.

With two successful jazz players in one household, how do they keep the harmony when collaborating?

"I think that the deepest challenge about being married and working together is finding the time to rehearse. Finding the time to get things together, because we are always on the move," says Charlap. "We have three children and both of us have busy careers playing as leaders of our own groups and other people's."

In addition to their new CD, this duo has a gig coming up on July 28 at the 92nd Street Y, as part of the Y’s "Jazz In July" series.

There are definitely no dueling pianos in this duo, but who decides who plays which piano?

"Whichever piano Renee wants to play first. Ladies first, you know," says Charlap.

This couple seems to know the secret to a good marriage, musically and otherwise.
