Album Notes & Community Reviews

Uniting three prominent disciples of the Lester Young tenor saxophone school, this highly relaxed, deeply swinging session emphasizes smooth, highly interwoven counterpoint over aggressive blowing. The remarkably airy, vibrato-less textures beautifully epitomize the cerebral yet deeply melodic elegance of the West Coast cool aesthetic.
