This fine compilation sustains a mellow sultriness for its duration, putting an emphasis on timeless ballads and reflective, romantic tunes. Highlights include a marvelous rendition of "Body and Soul," featuring the dual tenors of Zoot Sims and Al Cohn, and a beautiful, Coltrane-inspired "Estate" by the young tenor saxophonist Antoine Roney. The compilation also contains some slow blues from alto greats Sonny Criss and Sonny Stitt. It ends appropriately enough on a Milesian mode, with trumpet men Russell Gunn and Wallace Roney each delivering a lovely, candle-lit sound poem. This well-balanced disc equally rewards attentive listening as well as provides the perfect sonic atmosphere for those ever-valuable quiet times.
