How can you go wrong? Hank Jones probably never played a single note which didn't perfectly fit the tune and feeling he was striving for. Jimmy Cobb is one of the most tasteful and under-rated of drummers and Mr. McBride is flawless on this album. The moods and tempos vary somewhat, but not to extremes. I bought this a second time to give to a fellow worker who is becoming more acquainted with jazz and he loves it.
