CD Reviews

Thoughtful music
paris | Chicago | 08/03/2004
(5 out of 5 stars)

"The MJQ doesn't get any better than this. Call it jazz, classical, third stream. It doesn't matter. John Lewis is a master composer and pianist. The blend of the instruments achieves a high level musicality that's almost mystical. Fontessa is a highlight, and Woody'n You swings relentlessly."
One of MJQ's best, of course
