Limited double vinyl LP pressing of this 2001 album housed in a gatefold jacket, and covered by premium protective vinyl outer sleeve. The seven-time Grammy award-winning tenor saxophonist, Michael Brecker brings an all-star band together on this first ever ballad project titled Nearness Of You - The Ballad Book. Accompanied by Herbie Hancock on piano, Pat Metheny on guitars, Charlie Haden on bass, Jack DeJohnette on drums, and a special guest appearance by James Taylor, singing his sensational hit 'Don't Let Me Be Lonely Tonight' and Hoagy Carmichael's 'The Nearness of You', the tenor saxophonist creates rich resonant statements on 11 songs collected in two chapters and their epilogue. Brecker has updated these great songs with the addition of Pat Metheny's excellent production prowess on such great ballads as Joe Zawinul's 'Midnight Mood' and the Kurt Weill-Ira Gershwin standard 'My Ship'. 'Midnight Mood' is sensual and seductive, complete with a blithe piano solo by Herbie Hancock in the middle section. Hancock fills in the beauty of Brecker's saxophone lines on this arrangement that is partially based on guitarist Wes Montgomery's version. James Taylor sings one of the best renditions of his 'Don't Let Me Be Lonely Tonight', and it's clearly due to the excellent musicians on this LP. Pat Metheny excels as a serious jazz artist with his well thought out treatment of 'Nascente', which was inspired by Gil Evans' classic 1948 arrangement for Miles Davis on 'Miles Ahead'. Michael Brecker has clearly maintained his status as one of the best tenor saxophonists on the jazz scene, and this, his eighth album as a leader, is well within the musical excellence previously recorded.

Best Children's Book of 2024
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
My bibliophile kids (11 and 8) and I adore this book. The illustrations are delightfully inviting, the children are magically independent and loving, and the story encapsulates the gentle chaos of childhood in such a beautiful way. Highly recommend.

Great book!
Format: Hardcover
I hate when my kids make messes so this was the perfect book for me. It put things in perspective that messes aren't always a bad thing.

Must Have Book
Format: Hardcover
We purchased this book after having read a New York Times article on the author-illustrator. Loren Long. What an amazing book! I love the story line and the beautifully illustrated pages. Our 7 year old grandson doesn't tire of "reading" the pictures along with the story. The illustrations are loaded with subjects to talk about, along with the peaceful refrain that repeats throughout the book, "And they filled her with joy." This book fills us with joy. Thanks, Loren Long. Another great children's book.

Unique book- creative story and pictures
Format: Hardcover
Absolutely love the black and white pictures with the yellow accents. This is a fun creative book. Perfect for my son who is obsessed with busses and the color yellow. Made from thick high quality materials. Great for young children to enjoy.
