Sounds More Like Paul Desmond Than Desmond........

"Well, maybe that's an exageration....but not by much!!
I don't have much of a collection by Paul Desmond but these are all tunes that he loved to play and with the instrumentation he favored following the disbandment of the Dave Brubeck Quartet. Paul Desmond was a very lyrical player and in this tribute set, the warmth of feeling and the musicianship is more than right.
This set is melodic, subtle, and swinging. It's a set made for late night , relaxation and reminiscing. This is truly a tribute that is good for Brent Jensen, for good music, and ultimately, for the listeners."
Cool, mellow jazz

"A great CD - good for relaxing with a dry martini and that someone special. Classics in a mellow mood. Beautiful!"
