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. Musicians: John Lewis, piano George Duvivier, bass Jim Hall, guitar Connie Kay, drums Eric Dolphy, alto saxophone (B2) James Rivers, baritone saxophone (B2) Gunther Schuller, French horn (B2) Benny Golson, tenor saxophone (B2) Paul Gonsalves, tenor saxophone (A1) Herb Pomeroy, trumpet (A1, B2)
