Altoist Paul Desmond plays beautifully as usual throughout his collaboration with a string section (plus woodwinds and harp) arranged by Bob Prince. Guitarist Jim Hall also has some good spots, but Prince's arrangements are often overblown, overbearing, and much more dated than the solos. In fact, there is not a single place on the set where the music would not have been improved by the absence of the strings and woodwinds. Desmond gets in some good solos (particularly on "I've Got You Under My Skin," "Body and Soul," and "Autumn Leaves"), but his other meetings with Hall come more highly recommended.
