"for two of the best reed men in a great example of West Coast Cool!



It's 44 years since this recording session, but what the heck......it sound just as good as anything out there these days! I played this, decided I should tell everyone how good it is........then found that there is a later release with bonus tracks! No matter! Even if no one should read this, it doesn't detract that the music on this cd is terrific. First of all , I like cool. Secondly, these two guys really seem to BE of one mind the way they augment each others solos and the complex interweaving and exchange of ideas is fantastic. There are no culls on this set...........every cut is excellent!



If you enjoy excellent bari or alto, the cool style, or are familiar with either or both of these artists.......you'll want this one!"

Awesome Collaboration!!!!!!!!!

"I had only heard of Desmond through the Dave Brubeck Quartet and
Mulligan was someone I had never heard of. Their combination here, especially on All The things You Are, shows pure genius on both parts."
