Album Notes & Community Reviews

Driven by the tenor saxophonist's breathy, romantic tone, this session masterfully navigates a program of blues-drenched ballads and mid-tempo swingers. Supported by the Oscar Peterson Trio, the performances exude an effortless, late-night elegance that defines the cool jazz aesthetic.
