The third of three sessions
co-led with
organist
and
drummer
,
continues in the soft, easy style of its predecessor,
. This time, however -- as one might guess from the title and cover photo -- the flavor is less reflective and more romantic and outwardly engaging. Part of the reason is tenor saxophonist
, who takes
's place accompanying the core trio. His breathy, sensuous warmth keeps the album simmering at a low boil, and some of the repertoire helps as well, mixing romantic
(often associated with vocalists) and gently undulating
. The title track -- yes, the
tune -- is one of the latter, cleverly adapted and arranged into perfectly viable
that suits
's elegant touch with
; the other
's
is given a wonderfully caressing treatment. Even with all the straightforward
overtones of much of the material, the quartet's playing is still very subtly advanced, both in its rhythmic interaction and the soloists' harmonic choices. Whether augmented by an extra voice or sticking to the basic trio format, the
/
team produced some of the most sophisticated organ/guitar combo music ever waxed, and
is the loveliest of the bunch. ~ Steve Huey
