Album Notes & Community Reviews

Showcasing their deeply refined, classically influenced approach, this release heavily emphasizes intricate, hushed counterpoint over the aggressive swing typical of the era. The album's centerpiece, an ambitious Renaissance-inspired suite, beautifully highlights the chiming, delicate interplay between John Lewis's piano and Milt Jackson's vibraphone. It remains a flawless, highly sophisticated cornerstone of the intellectual chamber jazz aesthetic.
