Album Notes & Community Reviews
Documenting the early, highly fertile partnership between the pianist and alto saxophonist Paul Desmond, this 10-inch release is a cornerstone of the developing West Coast jazz sound. The quartet engages in sophisticated, classically-influenced counterpoint without sacrificing the propulsive energy of modern bebop. The record helped establish the intellectual, tightly arranged aesthetic that would soon make them global jazz ambassadors.
