Tone Poet Gem
3 out of 5 stars

This album's atmosphere is absolutely fantastic. The instrumentation and tracks are quite distinct from many other recent Tone Poet offerings, making it a standout addition to the series. Take, for instance, the somber duet between Fred Katz's cello and Buddy Collette's clarinet on "The Sage"—it's truly remarkable. Then, "The Morning After" serves as a short, lively closer to side A, a tune I'm almost certain Mark Mothersbaugh drew inspiration from for his "Rushmore" soundtrack. I'm thrilled that the folks at Blue Note selected this album for the Tone Poet series: the music is deserving of a wider audience and a meticulous remastering. Bravo! It's definitely worth adding to your collection.
