Review by Scott Yanow
A masterful improviser who stayed creative within the boundaries of advanced chordal improvisation, tenor saxophonist Warne Marsh is heard in excellent form throughout this 1997 CD. Heading a pianoless trio that also includes bassist Niels-Henning Orsted Pederson and drummer Alan Levitt, Marsh digs into a dozen of his favorite standards (which for once are not disguised with "original" new melodies) including "Confirmation," "I Can't Give You Anything but Love," "All the Things You Are," "When You're Smiling" and "Takin' a Chance on Love." This is a rather sparse setting and, despite occasional bass solos, the focus throughout is primarily on Marsh. Fortunately he was in fine form that day and the results are a fine effort.

Reseña de Scott Yanow
Warne Marsh, un improvisador magistral que se mantuvo creativo dentro de los límites de la improvisación armónica avanzada, se muestra en excelente forma a lo largo de este CD de 1997. Al frente de un trío sin piano que también incluye al bajista Niels-Henning Orsted Pederson y al baterista Alan Levitt, Marsh se adentra en una docena de sus estándares favoritos (que por una vez no están disfrazados con nuevas melodías «originales»), entre los que se incluyen «Confirmation», «I Can't Give You Anything but Love», «All the Things You Are», «When You're Smiling» y «Takin' a Chance on Love». Se trata de una formación bastante escasa y, a pesar de los ocasionales solos de bajo, la atención se centra principalmente en Marsh. Afortunadamente, ese día estaba en plena forma y el resultado es un trabajo excelente.
