Review
by Scott Yanow
Taken from what were probably bassist Israel Crosby's final recordings with pianist Ahmad Jamal (14 months before the bassist's unexpected death), this LP features the classic version of Jamal's Trio (with drummer Vernell Fournier) playing live at the leader's short-lived Chicago club. The interplay between the musicians was often magical, as can be heard on such numbers as "We Kiss In a Shadow," "Love for Sale," "Broadway" and "Isn't It Romantic."

Reseña
por Scott Yanow
Extraído de las que probablemente fueron las últimas grabaciones del bajista Israel Crosby con el pianista Ahmad Jamal (14 meses antes de la inesperada muerte del bajista), este LP presenta la versión clásica del Jamal's Trio (con el batería Vernell Fournier) tocando en directo en el efímero club del líder en Chicago. La interacción entre los músicos era a menudo mágica, como puede escucharse en temas como "We Kiss In a Shadow", "Love for Sale", "Broadway" y "Isn't It Romantic".
