Album Notes & Community Reviews
Continuing their wildly successful strategy of targeting academic crowds, this live set showcases an ensemble perfectly balancing dense polytonality with highly accessible, intellectual swing. The brilliant, deeply lyrical counterpoint of Paul Desmond beautifully softens the pianist's heavily percussive attack.
