As the title promises, the album presents a program of great jazz standards leading off with Bix Beiderbecke's \"Davenport Blues,\" a showcase for Coles, before launching into a shimmering version of Thelonious Monk's \"Straight No Chaser\" where Coles, Lacy, Fuller, and Evans all get the spotlight. A stunning presentation of Fran Landesman and Tommy Wolf's \"Ballad of the Sad Young Men\" and a no-nonsense take on Clifford Brown's \"Joy Spring\" close out the first side. On the flipside, John Lewis' \"Django\" gets an impressionistic arrangement full of surprises, while a modernistic version of Don Redman's \"Chant of the Weed\" is a solo vehicle for Johnson's clarinet. The album culminates with a soaring performance of the Evans original \"Theme,\" later known as \"La Nevada.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Tone Poet Audiophile Vinyl Reissue Series was born out of Blue Note President Don Was' admiration for the exceptional audiophile Blue Note LP reissues presented by Music Matters.
