"I'm a great jazz fan. I completely agree with Mary Farrar. After having read an italian book about Sonny and Mary's review I bought this cd. It's astonishing. It's also very amusing. Comparing it with soccer or basketball it's like seeing Maradona or Pele or Jordan playing. It gives you a sensation of nearly omnipotence. Most of the takes are also well recorded. I recommend particularly, besides "Oleo", "There will never be another you", the first "Paul's pal", "It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing" (even if this last one is not as well recorded as the others")."
