Pete Brown's earthy, bluesy alto saxophone swings with irresistible energy, while Jonah Jones' warm, punchy trumpet and swinging, accessible style make the second half equally irresistible.

The programme is a dream — Sophisticated Lady, Alone Together, Manha De Carnaval, and Who Cares among them — and the interplay between Brown's magnificent bass lines and Rowles' sophisticated, lyrical piano is nothing short of magical. A truly essential Concord Jazz recording.
