I have the excuse of not being there in 2003, and i'm not fond of digging up threads. Besides using the view new posts function i do little searching.
Anyway, back to subject. For the younger guys like me, it's among the first few jazz records i ever owned. So, it brings me back to a time where musical discoveries were in a way simpler, the less you know, the more you discover.
It's one of those rare albums, that puts everyone in a dreamy fairy tale like state. I mean by everyone, that it does not matter whether you enjoy jazz or not. One of the greatest qualities is its accessibility, whether you are a hardcore jazz fan or a casual listener, you should find easy to enjoy the sweet sounds produced in this recording. If you don't like this album, you may question yourself whether you like music at all.
