5.0 out of 5 stars Superb. An utterly unique musical voice. Lyricism and taste personified., February 26, 2008
By 
John McKinna (Key Largo, Florida United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Best of the Complete Paul Desmond RCA Victor Recordings (Audio CD)
Paul Desmond was unique. His alto tone, phrasing, melodicism,and lyricism were--and are--of the highest caliber. His beautiful, inventive, and well-trained approach was undoubtedly at its best when contrasted with Dave Brubeck's odd, punchy piano rhythms, but these cuts with the incomparable Jim Hall on guitar also display his mastery to great effect. I love this multi-CD collection and play it often at work in my office. It is the sound of taste, skill, intelligence, and inspiration personified. Buy it immediately. It is the sound of irreplaceable talent.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful, Enjoyable, Memorable: Material, Playing, Recording, May 6, 2007
By 
R. Widebrook (Menlo Park, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Best of the Complete Paul Desmond RCA Victor Recordings (Audio CD)
This has been one of my "evergreen" favorite CDs for some time. Makes for a captivating listening session. The cut "By The River St. Marie" just shimmers with sensitive, tuneful melody and structure, held aloft by sweet interplaying between Desmond and Hall. Yes, the complete RCA issue is tempting, but consider this a fulfilling standalone collection-within-a-collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars Some of the best., December 16, 2009

This review is from: The Best of the Complete Paul Desmond RCA Victor Recordings (Audio CD)
The RCA Victor recordings are the best of Paul Desmond. Deep clear sound, not a lot of instraments playing over Paul.
