Format:Audio CD
Here in this one album you can listen to the musical development of a sax player extraordinaire: the silky, seductive sounds of a genius. From every track on this compilation CD comes the gentleness, warmth and musicianship of a human who considered himself the world's slowest sax player. None of the raucous intensity of screaming horns here - instead savour the purity of sax, guitar and rhythm section and marvel at the depths of feeling that Paul Desmond expressed with such seeming ease. His untimely death in 1977 left an enormous hole in jazz music. Listening to this album makes us realise why it is that the hole has been impossible to fill.

Format:Audio CD
A masterwork of jazz. Whilst being traditional the album incorporates classical elements at times such as on the elegent track Body and Soul. There are a couple of samba tracks as well. The recording can seem a little dated at times and sometimes there is mild background noise on some tracks but overall the album is well worth a purchase, easily comparable with much of Miles Davis's work. At the prices it sells for, a must have. 96/100

Every note is a pleasure and the experience of listening to a man so at one with his music is something rarely witnessed elsewhere. Narrowly edges "A Kind of Blue" for sheer class....

Just a beautiful album of well known standards played immaculately as ever by a guy who was for too long in Dave Brubeck's shadow. Read more

Relaxing listening
I had not heard anything by this artist before, and I was not disappointed with my choice, just what I was expecting. I will look out for more by Paul Desmond.

Cool, oh yes, indeed
A subtle and gorgeously seductive album, with a couple of tiny and mercifully short string accompaniments that one can cheerfully forgive and forget. Read more

Although I'm more of a jazz listener, I must admit to not having heard of Paul desmond. I was persuaded to check out this album based on the previous reviews. Read more

Ideal background music
This CD is exactly what I expected - ideal background music for computer programming - tasteful and calm.

Paul Desmond in the blue.
A great buy with all the sound that Desmond makes. Really shows what a solo artist he was.
