A signal achievement at any time in jazz history, ensemble longevity is particularly rare at present; yet the John Stein Quartet, a multi--generational and intercontinental enterprise from the outset survives. And as the present and three previous Whaling City discs have documented, it thrives. Stein provides a lot to work with, including five strong originals . . . well chosen standards . . . and a lyrical solo concept. Best of all, Stein's vision of music as "a conversation among friends, not an excuse for impressing people with chops," sets a tone that is upheld and magnified by his partners.

Personnel:  John Stein, guitar;  Jake Sherman, piano and Hammond organ;  John Lockwood, acoustic bass;  Zé Eduardo Nazario, drums.
