This classic session is the ultimate in cool jazz. Bill Perkins' mellow tone matches quite well with the quiet but inwardly passionate playing of pianist John Lewis, guitarist Jim Hall, bassist Percy Heath and drummer Chico Hamilton. Lewis is featured with the rhythm section on "I Can't Get Started," Hall is added for "Skylark," and the full group plays three standards plus Lewis' memorable and atmospheric "2 Degrees East, 3 Degrees West."

As Cool as Cool Jazz Gets

The mellow tones of Bill Perkins on tenor sax and John Lewis on piano are well matched to Jim Hall's spare guitar playing and the quiet rhythm provided by Percy Heath on bass and Chico Hamilton on drums. If you like your jazz cool, this is an almost perfect recording.
