Beautiful, lyrical, Paul Desmond. John Lewis is on piano, understated as always. Desmond always looks so smart. Little known song.
For me, he uses sweet melodies, using many 3rds and 7ths, he uses lovely little rhythmic phrases which he displaces around, and he uses loud and soft tones. Lovely, all of it.
John Lewis does not get much of a look in here, but he also is a advocatre of the Less is More school. Very sparing, very open solos. I must get one of him with his MJQ on this site.
John
