Guaraldi and Sete team up again for another attractive, mostly bossa nova session, this time with a softer-focused rhythm section, shorter tracks, and more Guaraldi tunes (4) on the menu than before. Guaraldi’s quasi-Oriental “Ginza” is resurrected and retooled, “The Girl From Ipanema” and “A Taste Of Honey” are dutifully covered, and the most amusing track is Vince’s tongue-in-cheek, slightly rock-ish cha-cha “The Ballad Of Pancho Villa.” Although Guaraldi was in somewhat fresher form in his other albums with Sete, this one won’t disappoint his fans

@miss_my_zune, when I saw Gillian and Dave in Melbourne in 2016 they did Dream a Highway as an encore. It was fabulous.

@andybob I am a huge fan of Bernard Hermann, especially his scores for Alfred Hitchcock films and fantasy films with special effects artist Ray Harryhausen. I just posted my favorite of his fantasy film scores for “The 7th Voyage of Sinbad.”

Yes, it’s fabulous.
I love the setting, with just vocal, bass and sax — the clarity of the voices is fascinating.
And of course the artists are great: Stephan Crump, who plays bass with Vijay Iyer, and Chris Cheek who plays sax everywhere.
I also like this album, with the same setting:
Grenadier plays everywhere, recently on Hudson with DeJohnette, Medeski and Scofield; McHenry has played with Guillermo Klein.
I was talking with Stephan and Jen, and found they are friends with Rebecca and Larry, and both women are married to the bassists.
I looove tracing links.
