Album Notes & Community Reviews
Norman Granz facilitated this encounter between the famously breathy, romantic tenor saxophonist and the virtuosic Canadian pianist. The quintet focuses almost entirely on classic balladry, achieving a deeply relaxed, impeccably swinging synergy devoid of competitive, rapid-fire grandstanding.
