4.0 out of 5 stars Liked This But Not Enough To Buy, April 20, 2001

By	carol irvin "c.k. irvin" (United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

This is another recording I learned about via the Ken Burns' "Jazz" DVD series. I took it out from my library and played it for many days. It was enjoyable and I really can't criticize it. The numbers that are old standards are lovely and Young certainly was a superb player. However, I have several Coleman Hawkins' recordings already. He also plays the tenor saxophone, also plays many old standards and I simply like his playing better. For me, it is even more emotional and heartfelt than Young's. I didn't just "have to have" this album like I did the 2 Miles Davis albums that the "Jazz" series led me to try either. I took those out from the library too and then immediately bought them after I returned them to the library. There are many albums I like but I don't feel compelled to buy them. I feel I can only give them 5 stars when I run out and buy them after listening to them!
