This CD of well known and much loved jazz pieces provides an entertaining and valuable recording of some of this country's greatest jazz talents in spontaneous performance, including the extraordinarily talented saxophonist Graeme Lyall. Widely regarded as one of the greatest jazz saxophone players and arrangers Australia has produced. All of the performances are spontaneous in every way, making this not so much a recording as a couple of 'captured' live concerts. Includes 'Hello Young Lovers', 'Inchworm', 'Black Orpheus', 'You Are My Heart's Delight', 'How Insensitive', 'Con Alma' and 'The Wee Small Hours of the Morning'. Press quotes:
“Lyall displays a pure tone and an ability to play intricate lines with impeccable control ... stikingly attractive music.”
— The Age “To find two excellent musicians on the one CD is joyous experience and discovery ... [and] while it is live the sound quality and playing would rival anything recorded in a studio ...”— Greg Fisher, JazzViews Audio preview:

"one of a rare breed of pianists not frightened of showing his emotions when he plays"
(Leon Gettler, The Age 'Green Guide') Melbourne born musician Tony Gould is well known and admired in both classical and jazz musical circles. As a musician, Tony Gould is characterised by a desire to encompass as broad a range of activities as possible, aiming to reduce often prejudiced judgements about the relative worth of different musical styles. Ben Robertson is a brilliant and dedicated acoustic bass player, much sought after for his melodic solos and driving rhythm. The high standards he sets and achieves have earnt him a well-deserved reputation in the jazz world.
Born in Melbourne but now living in Athens, jazz drummer George Polyhronakos works and records with important improvisers in Greece such as Dimitris Vasilakis, George Kontrafouris, Takis Barberis and many others.
