Abstract:
This 1990 recording is a showcase for four musicians in fabulous fettle. This film captures the quartet playing on stage together for the first time during a show at New York's prestigious jazz venue Sweet Basil, with the focus on the music. Between tunes are excerpts from rehearsals or the musicians commenting about what they are going to play. The most distinctive thing about this group was their relaxed demeanor and their ability to swing hard, but with an almost dainty air.
