my name is paul desmond and here i am 30 years old and this is my first album in which i am not breathing down somebody else’s neck which snicker tho you may is in many ways no small accomplishment. it comes, you will notice, in two parts – one with voices, one with a quintet, in each of which are to be found all manner of intriguing things: the fascinating unpredictable musings of dick collins, a light, sparkling and remarkably law-abiding fugue by david van kriedt, lush and lovely choral backgrounds by jack weeks and bill bates, the deft and jovial guitar picking of barney kessel and the occasional forlorn sound of an alto surrounded by microphones, all nudged along gently but firmly by the scratchings and pluckings of respectively, joe dodge and bob bates.
