Take Ten album for sale Product Description

Take Ten album for sale by Paul Desmond was released Mar 09, 1999 on the RCA label. Alto saxophonist Paul Desmond has been considered one of the avatars of the cool school of jazz. One of the few saxophonists of his generation to not be overly influenced by Charlie Parker, Desmond favored a sound that was somewhat mellow, suave, smooth and dry--so much so that critics and fans would liken his style to "a very dry martini." These appellations certainly weren't meant to imply that there's no emotion or swing in his playing, only that the focus is away from forced emotionalism. Take Ten CD music contains a single disc with 11 songs. ...See Full Description

Paul and Hall
Take Ten songs The combination of paul's "dry martini" alto sax , jim hall's silky guitar is fabulous again. Add the best rythen guys around and this disc is a must own for desmond lovers. The guy might just be the best alto sax palyer to ever live. I am well on my way to my personal goal of owning everything he ever recorded. This disc is a beautiful addition to that goal.

Desmond
Aside from the first cut, I think this is one of Desmond's best CDs. Seems like Desmond and Hall always work well together and guarantee great listening. Really like this CD.
