A great album, but you must remember that I *like* Granny music. If you have an appreciation for 'the great American songbook, this is a as good as anything released in that vein in the past decade!...

Eight great works, all of which came out in 1954-1960 by one of the great if under-rated by all except other musicians, bop/hard bop tenor man out there. Many of these feature his long time band mate Zoot Sims, and they were pretty much a perfect...

"The sticker on the cover of this cd announces its Di Meola's return to solid body electric guitar. I think this statement led many people think this was going to be Land of the Midnight Sun 2 or Elegant Gypsy 2. It is not and it is not meant to be...

An amazing, newly lowered price on perfect copies of the Japanese mini-lp sleeve version of this classic fusion album, which is sadly completely and utterly out of print in every part of the world.
