Gone With the Wind

Album Notes & Community Reviews

Serving as a thematic predecessor to their legendary time-signature experiments, this exceptionally elegant project focuses entirely on deeply swinging interpretations of songs traditionally associated with the American South. The ensemble's interplay is incredibly refined, perfectly highlighting Paul Desmond's airy, highly lyrical alto saxophone against the leader's famously percussive, block-chord piano style. The record stands as a classic, impeccably tasteful representation of sophisticated West Coast cool jazz.
