The record

A stripped-down summit of vibes, guitar, and bass, letting three master improvisers stretch out with the easy rapport that only decades of shared bandstands can produce. Pablo's mid-'70s house style at its best -- unhurried swing, plenty of space, and no rhythm section to hide behind.

Session personnel

  • Ray Brown — bass
  • Joe Pass — guitar
