There is nothing hurried about this disc
That said, the music is focused and will stretch your mind
Lewis employed masterful melodic improvisers here: Paul Gonsalves, Eric Dolphy, Jim Hall among others
Listen to "Body And Soul" as it builds powerfully and the soloists explore every possible melodic theme, where the quiet power of these master musicians is almost too much to take
Listen to "I Remember Clifford" where the players are essentially the MJQ with Jim Hall replacing Milt Jackson
This set swings, but oh-so-elegantly
Just like Mr. Lewis
- S.C.Berry -
Whether you're an old-time jazz afficionado or new to the genre, this album is essential
The rest of the album, particularly "Afternoon In Paris", is at the same level
"Wonderful" is the perfect title for this record
