Ed Harlow has a gorgeous tone, lodged somewhere between the lilt of Paul Desmond and the muscular passion of Johnny Hodges and imbued with the sex appeal of Stan Getz.

The results of this eleven-tune gem are thoroughly tantalizing.

This is intimate, enticing music.

His tone is fat, warm and intricately played, much like Sonny Rollins' balladry.

The closing version of "You Must Believe In Spring" is the sort of performance that would break down the Grammy nomination doors if it were on an established record label.

This is hands down one of the most impressive jazz discs of last year highly recommended.
