This reissue of a 1959 album entitled East of the Sun features a tight, mellow quartet helmed by Paul Desmond’s unmistakable alto saxophone. Jim Hall joins in on guitar, along with a talented rhythm section anchored by Percy Heath and Connie Kay. Beautiful renditions of familiar standards make this unforgettable.

Grade: A-.
