Album Notes & Community Reviews

Stepping away from the highly structured constraints of the Modern Jazz Quartet, vibraphonist Milt Jackson luxuriates in a relaxed, romantic setting. Arranged by Quincy Jones, the session swathes Jackson's naturally blues-drenched, shimmering improvisations in an elegant, finely textured string section.
