Album Notes & Community Reviews

Featuring guest clarinettist Jimmy Giuffre, this deeply relaxed session perfectly captures the intellectual, highly textured atmosphere of the Lennox School of Jazz. The incredibly subtle, slightly folksy interplay perfectly highlights the ensemble's deep affinity for sophisticated chamber music dynamics.
