Ive been listening to it all the time since it came out and will do 3 cuts from it again on Thursday Night Jazz tonight. One of my Joni Mitchell Jazz Summer Solstice Radio Specials feat. Laura Nyro covers as a bonus edition the last hour. Childs and Klein had been talking about doing this for a long time and theyve turned out a masterpiece.
