From the same legendary Vanguard afternoon, all delicacy and dialogue between three musicians listening hard. Tender and timeless. A desert-island jazz record. The album that extends the run rather than resting on it.
On vinyl: Originals are widely faked and graded inconsistently — stick with a trusted reissue.
