　南加州的男女组合带来的录音室第三张专辑：Interpreting The Masters Volume 1 A Tribute To Daryl Hall And John Oates。这是一张完全电气女声专辑，柔美的女声自从他们第一张乐队同名专辑The Bird and the Bee 就让人难以忘记。从第一张专辑出版的时间前后不到4年时间，乐队成立初的纯朴韵味在时间的流逝当中已经消失待尽。商业的冲击真的变化很大，重新回到旧的专辑中，我们还是找到了之前的那种听音乐的心情。在喧嚣非凡的世界当中，这还是一片宁静的乐土。新专辑简短9支歌曲，同是带着电子与独立曲风。他们在努力的转变，我们听音乐的心情也有不同，谁跟的上谁的变化那也会是因人而论了。这次新专辑的主题是为了向70,80年代著名的团体Hall and Oates致敬所制作的翻唱作品，作品大多也都选自于Hall and Oates的一些脍炙人口的歌曲，Inara George的亮丽声线非常特别的诠释了这些经典曲目，加之于被爱情所滋润，使得所有歌曲的情感相当丰富。而获得Grammy奖的Greg Kurstin此次依然在幕后潇洒的进行乐器弹奏，夫妻档的组合甚是羡煞旁人。 文字来自水手音乐
　　The Bird and The Bee have been known to recreate 80s pop hits into unique and contemporary gems for the new millennium. With Interpreting the Masters Volume I, Greg Kurstin and Inara George go one step further and pay homage to one of the greatest duo’s of that time Darryl Hall and John Oates. Classic material is reinvented through Kurstin’s sleek production and George’s sweet lyrical delivery　　

来自南加州的双人组合The Bird and The Bee 小鸟与蜜蜂，一位是师承大师Charles Mingus钢琴师Jaki Byard、在青少年时期便已是一个爵士钢琴奇葩的Greg Kurstin，熟稔多种器乐演奏。曾与Beck、Robert Moog合作，并为The Flaming Lips、Peaches及音乐小魔女Lily Allen等制作并创作歌曲。另一位是成长於洛城的音乐世家，父亲是70年代着名南方摇滚团体Little Feat的主唱兼吉他手Lowell George，曾发行个人专辑作品All Rise，并已是洛城独立音乐界当当有名的Inara George。在制作人Mike Andrews的介绍牵线下合体而成。他们共同创作， Inara负责演唱，Greg主理器乐，在创意的发挥上，相互交流，又在乐曲的表现上各司其职。重塑并创新了传统的bossa nova，the bird and the bee希望将自己融会在经典与流行之间。
Multi-instrumentalist Greg Kurstin and doe-eyed vocalist Inara George draw upon a fondness for jazz standards and ’60s tropicalia to deliver the stylish tones of the Bird and the Bee. The two musicians were introduced in 2004 by mutual friend Mike Andrews, whom George had enlisted to produce her solo debut, All Rise. Needing someone to contribute piano to several tracks, Andrews called upon Kurstin, who had studied under renowned jazz pianist Jaki Byard during his college years. George and Kurstin soon found themselves spending hours together in the studio, where a shared interest in jazz-based music — something that George hadn’t explored much on All Rise — helped lay the foundation for the Bird and the Bee.

Apart from Kurstin’s work with Byard, neither musician had done much with jazz or tropicalia before. Kurstin had previously contributed keyboards to selections by Beck, and his production credits included work with the Flaming Lips, Peaches, and Lily Allen (with whom the Bird and the Bee would later tour). On the other hand, George — the daughter of Little Feat’s Lowell George — had pursued work as a Shakespearean actress before forming the post-grunge band Lode and subsequently embarking on a solo career. Both George and Kurstin began to explore new sounds and textures in Kurstin’s studio in Echo Park, CA, eventually composing enough sun-kissed material for their debut EP, Again and Again and Again and Again, which arrived in late October 2006. The Bird and the Bee’s self-titled LP was released the following year by Blue Note Records, spawning a number one hit on the U.S. Hot Dance Club Play chart with a remix of the sassy “Fucking Boyfriend.” After enjoying positive press from such outlets as NPR, the pair returned to the studio. Please Clap Your Hands, a five-song EP featuring a cover of the Bee Gees’ “How Deep Is Your Love,” arrived in September 2007, and the duo heralded its release by joining the indie pop act Rilo Kiley on a fall tour. Two digital EPs, One Too Many Hearts and Live from Las Vegas at the Palms, helped placate the group’s audience in early 2008 while Kurstin and George readied a second full-length album. Ray Guns Are Not Just the Future then appeared in January 2009.
