  Review by ravnspore May 22, 2003

Ray Brown recorded this just before his death at 82 years. It is amazing to hear a 82 year old playing the upright bass as if he was born yesterday!. Overall a pretty amazing performance from these 3 and the 2 "younger" ones have to play "hard" to keep up with Mr. Brown, but they deliver ... more
