Album Notes & Community Reviews

Eschewing the frantic, showboating jump blues that made him a superstar, the vibraphone master settles into a highly relaxed, sophisticated set of standards. Accompanied by a subtle woodwind ensemble, his percussive, heavily swinging mallet work takes on a surprisingly delicate, cool-jazz atmosphere. The album reveals a wonderfully lyrical, deeply mature dimension of his immense talent.
