Album Notes & Community Reviews
Stepping out from the Modern Jazz Quartet, pianist John Lewis guides an expanded, all-star ensemble including Eric Dolphy and Paul Gonsalves. The album applies Lewis' famously elegant, classically-influenced compositional sense to a larger canvas, resulting in a deeply thoughtful, restrained variant of modern cool jazz.
