Notes: Two
sets by incredible combos from the Opera House in Chicago. The
players are more than up to the task and give the listener all
that they have grown to expect form musicians of this caliber.
The front cover photo is an excercise in contrasts. The staid,
sober looking MJQ and the OP Trio all smiles and joy. A great record
in any format.
