Album Notes & Community Reviews

Recorded at San Francisco's premier jazz club, this relaxed set features Paul Desmond's incredibly airy alto saxophone floating over the pianist's heavy block chords. The highly contrapuntal interplay firmly roots the ensemble as leading intellectual figures within the West Coast jazz movement.
