Once again the magic of Cole Porter is transformed into a vehicle for quality jazz players to blow. This ensemble (not always with Haden) has been convening, from time to time, for over 25 years. This early outing (relatively speaking) confirms what Sonny Rollins has always known about taking on some of the less well-known gems of the Great American Songbook. Not only is there gold in them there hills but great springboards for jazz improvisation, which all these participants take on with a vibrant playfulness as well as probing the ‘outer’ edges of the tune.
