FlÃ¼gelhornist Art Farmer and guitarist Jim Hall had a regular group for a
time in the mid-'60s but (with one exception) didn't play together again until
this 1978 LP. It's an unusual effort for CTI in that it is a quintet set without
added horns, strings, or keyboards. Farmer and Hall are joined by vibraphonist
Mike Mainieri, bassist Michael Moore, and drummer Steve Gadd for two standards,
the title cut, and a jazz adaptation of a piece by Ravel. Since Farmer and Hall
have long had very complementary styles (both being lyrical, harmonically
advanced, and thoughtful in their improvisations), it is little surprise that
this set is a complete success.
