As can be heard on this quintet set, tenor saxophonist Al Cohn's former &cool school& tone deepend during his later years and had become much more distinctive than it had been earlier. This set is special in that Cohn's backup group includes his son, the cool-toned guitarist Joe Cohn. Also providing fine support are pianist Hank Jones, bassist George Duvivier and drummer Akiri Tana. The quintet performs four of Al Cohn's originals (including &High on You& and the catchy &P-Town&) plus Hank Jones' &Vignette,& a couple of obscurities and Cole Porter's &I Love You.& A typically excellent Al Cohn set.
