Brown and van Nuis gravitated to jazz, and in 1999 they married. “Just a trip to the courthouse with our moms,” van Nuis says. “Then we had lunch at my mom’s house, and it was raining, so we went to see the new aquarium.” They have been praised individually and as a couple.

“We were approached by a Japanese record label that had been reissuing all of our previous CDs and is in the business of releasing older recordings and a few new ones,” says van Nuis. “They wanted to know if we might be interested in making an original CD based on the music of Julie London.”“Some even have listening rooms,” says Brown. “Even as the musical world changes, Japan is filled with people who want the physical products.
