5.0 out of 5 stars Sounds More Like Paul Desmond Than Desmond........, February 9, 2006
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Sound of a Dry Martini: Remembering Paul Desmond (Audio CD)
Well, maybe that's an exageration....but not by much!!

I don't have much of a collection by Paul Desmond but these are all tunes that he loved to play and with the instrumentation he favored following the disbandment of the Dave Brubeck Quartet. Paul Desmond was a very lyrical player and in this tribute set, the warmth of feeling and the musicianship is more than right.

This set is melodic, subtle, and swinging. It's a set made for late night , relaxation and reminiscing. This is truly a tribute that is good for Brent Jensen, for good music, and ultimately, for the listeners.

4.0 out of 5 stars Brent Jensen, December 2, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Sound of a Dry Martini: Remembering Paul Desmond (Audio CD)
I had never heard of Brent Jensen until I heard him on Pandora. If you are a fan of Paul Desmond, I highly recommend this album. It has great Desmond tunes and a great Desmond sound. The bonus is that you get modern recording quality which sounds much better than Desmond's recordings from the 50's and 60's.

I look forward to checking out Mr. Jensen's other recordings.
