An affectionate tribute to the late Paul Desmond and his music played by alto saxophonist, crime writer and formerly the Editor of 'Fetish Times', Mark Ramsden (how's that for a CV) and guitarist Dave Cliff with bass and percussion.
If you like Paul Desmond then this is for you. Beautifully played with some interesting twists - see if you can recognize what song 'The Mermaid' is based on without reading the booklet notes.
I play this a lot and I hope you will too. It's very addictive. 'El Prince' is a good one to try first.
