Also reissued as 2 Degrees East, 3 Degrees West and occasionally listed under tenor saxophonist
Bill Perkins' name, this classic session is the ultimate in cool jazz.
Perkins' mellow tone matches quite well with the quiet but inwardly passionate playing of pianist
John Lewis, guitarist
Jim Hall, bassist
Percy Heath, and drummer
Chico Hamilton.
Lewis is featured with the rhythm section on "I Can't Get Started,"
Hall is added for "Skylark," and the full group plays three standards plus
Lewis' memorable (and atmospheric) "2 Degrees East, 3 Degrees West."
