For those not aware, four of the world’s most respected musicians, all honored as NEA Jazz Masters, come together for a scintillating night of jazz...live from New York’s Sweet Basil, one of the most prestigious and historic jazz clubs anywhere!

This state-of-the-art production marks the first time these legendary musicians have played together on the same stage. This is truly a dream band of Jazz Legends, with Ron Carter on bass, Art Farmer on trumpet and flugelhorn, Cedar Walton on piano and Billy Higgins on drums.

A exhilarating performance, with all of them performing at their peak. They achieve a swinging ensemble sound, while maintaining a delightful interplay in their solo spots.

1. It’s About Time (Reprise) [Ron Carter]
2. Art’s Song [Art Farmer]
3. My Funny Valentine [Rodgers and Hart]
4. When Love Is New (Radio) [Cedar Walton]
5. Shortcomings [Billy Higgins]
6. A Theme In 3/4 [Ron Carter]

This state-of-the art production, heartfelt and exquisitely curated new recording, opens on the spirited It’s About Time (Reprise) and a languishing yearn that veins through Art’s Song, and then brings us the dutifully sculpted My Funny Valentine, the late night, smokey club-imbibed When Love Is New (Radio), the album rounding out on the playfully flirtatious Shortcomings, closing on the simply beautiful, veritably shimmering A Theme In 3/4.

THE MUSICIANS:
Ron Carter: bass
Art Farmer: trumpet/flugelhorn
