Great but could have been better!

(4 out of 5 stars)

"This release is wonderful news for jazz fans who have been longing for a re-release of the landmark album "Descent into the Maelstrom" by the brilliant Lennie Tristano. Unfortunately, this compilation does not include all of the sides from those sessions, choosing to leave off both "Stretch" and "Dream: Paris 1965." We can only hope that a full release of the brilliant "Descent into the Maelstrom" will be released in full in the not too distant future. C'mon record companies, get with it, this is a gem that begs, no, it SCREAMS for a Reissue!"
