Pat Metheny registra assieme al trio condotto dal trombettista orientale Cuong Vu. Il jazzista, che nel corso della sua carriera ha suonato con musicsti di vario genere e stile (Laurie Anderson, David Bowie, Dave Douglas, Myra Melford, Cibo Matto e Mitchell Froom) fa un salto di qualità, grazie alla partecipazione del chitarrista statunitense.

Rarissimo CD di Jack Lemmon, l'attore, che qui fa il crooner, suonando e cantando una serie di standards, accompagnato da un gruppo jazz. Il CD è fuori catalogo da diverso tempo

con Wayne Shorter, Michael Brecker, Kenny Aronoff, Bob Mintzer e molti altri

The quartet is in one continous single movement. For ease of navigation and reference, there have been included arbitrary track markers on each CD. For the most part, this has been done in five-page score increments; with exceptions due to the limitations of the CD length.

This complete work lasts 6 hours, 7 minutes and 7 seconds. There is also a DVD version of the complete 5 disc set released under the same catalog number in which one could listen to the complete work uninterrupted.

Recorded at: Crowell Hall, Wesleyan University, Middletown, Connecticut on 15-18 October 2001

This recording was made possible, in part, by the kind generosity of The Aaron Copeland Fund for Music, Inc.

Special Thanks to: Neely Bruce at Wesleyan University and Howard Stokar
