Idaho-based saxophonist Brent Jensen teams with members of Los Angeles' Acoustic Jazz Quartet in a collection of 10 tunes closely associated with the ever-lyrical and inventive alto saxophonist Paul Desmond. Says jazz writer Doug Ramsey in his liner notes, "He knows what Desmond was made of. In this homage, Jensen succeeds, uncannily, in marshaling many of Desmond's essential qualities." a student of Lee Konitz, Jensen, a saxophonist of impressive range, and comfortable in idioms from mainstream to free, discovered early on his affinity for the under-appreciated melodicism and singing quality of Desmond's alto voice. Originally released in 2002.
