Superbly recorded. The blend between Jenny and Russ is uncanny. Myra is sort of the center piece of this "oracles series" record. And, of course, Kenny can do no wrong. Sparsely orchestrated "folk jazz" as some call it. I play very simply, and often in the middle to high register. Kenny's bass drum holds the bottom end here.
