While there had been excellent bands in the past that created a chamber-jazz genre, such as Red Norvo's trio, John Lewis's vision of a fusion of jazz and classical elements was distinctly original. It's apparent here in the controlled counterpoint of \"Versailles,\" the extended first recording on \"Fontessa,\" with Lewis's spare and precise piano perfectly complementing the looser swing of Milt Jackson's glistening vibraphone sound. The group mingles beautifully around Percy Heath's supple, melodic bass lines and Connie Kay's discrete and gently propulsive beat. Jackson's \"Bluesology\" and Dizzy Gillespie's \"Woody'n You\" inspire boppish invention, while the limpidly beautiful standards \"Willow Weep for Me\" and \"Angel Eyes\" demonstrate Jackson's ability to shift mood in a single phrase. --Stuart Broomer\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eUPC:\u003c\/b\u003e 075678132926\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 0075678132926\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eModel:\u003c\/b\u003e 075678132926\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e audioCD\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e UsedVeryGood\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"IDshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47938375385347,"sku":"1N-DZ86-4SLT","price":20.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0030\/9765\/7390\/files\/51g1usSo3_L.jpg?v=1776135620","url":"https:\/\/id-shop-ca.myshopify.com\/products\/fontessa","provider":"ID Shop.ca","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
