This is an amazing album. The chorus, joined by the musicians, begins and ends each song, with the musicians taking solos in between. This album likely will be on just about any top 10 list. Many of the personnel on this recording Davis, Adderley, Coltrane and Evans went a long way in defining what we understand to be modern jazz. This recording is best described as eclectic.
Some tracks are just bass and guitar, while others have accompaniment.
The selections range from a folk ballad, to movie themes, to original compositions by Haden and Metheny. The playing is thoughtful, and there are some very pretty moments. This has received a lot of attention from bass and guitar players. The group gives you everything from driving blues to sensitive interpretations of ballads. The nice things about this recording are the group's dynamics and the range of music covered.
