Notes

AMG Review (4 1/2): Recorded live at the Pitt Inn in Tokyo, Japan this superb double-disc is one of jazz music's finest moments. It includes the same lineup as Step by Step. None of the material on any of these three Japanese CDs is repeated on the other CDs. Buy all three, they're worth every penny! — Paul Kohler Reissued with 6 alternate takes (although only 3 new additions and 2 alternate takes listed)
