Dale Polissar is a magnificent clarinettist. His tone is fluid and warm; his lines are melifluous and sinuous; his ideas are always fresh and alive. On this CD he plays twelve tunes, mostly but not exclusively standards; melodies chosen because -- well, because they're great melodies and they provide wonderful vehicles for Dale's musicality. Bart is Dale's accompanist here on classical guitar, providing perfectly supportive and inventive arrangements plus the occasional tasty solo.
Thanks for reviewing this album! You should see it show up on the album page in a few days.
I originally purchased the Manha de Carnaval track and loved the sound so much I bought the album.Lovely syrupy sound - perfect with the guitar accompaniment. Just the thing for listening in the small hours after midnight. Read more...
Nice smooth jazz treatment of standards and pop tunes, similar to Guy Van Duser and Billy Novick. Read more...
