A fantastic late night album. An all-star group playing all-star tunes:
What's not to like 'bout that? While it's Brecker's album, Herbie Hancock steals the show - no small feat among this crew. Grab the person and beverage of your choice and have a listen after a romantic dinner.
Allmusic gives it ★★★★½ while DownBeat gave it ★★★★. Sounds about right to me.
