About this Record: Prepare to fall in love with one of jazz's most under-celebrated guitarists! Recorded in 1978 for Concord Jazz, this wonderful trio set captures Cal Collins in relaxed, inspired form alongside bassist Monty Budwig and drummer Jeff Hamilton. Collins was a self-taught guitarist who learned his art on the streets and farms of Indiana before becoming Benny Goodman's guitarist in 1976, and his straight-ahead bop playing with deep swing-era roots is an absolute delight. Highlights include Miles Davis's Blue Haze, Miles' Theme, Sometimes I'm Happy, and a lovely reading of So What. Effortlessly swinging, deeply musical, and hugely enjoyable.

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.
