    Brent Jensen

    The Sound of a Dry Martini

    Remembering Paul Desmond


    FROM THE LINER NOTES:

    "He [Jensen] knows what Desmond was made of. In this homage, Jensen succeeds, uncannily, in marshalling many of Desmond's essential qualities....

    "If Brent Jensen's tribute calls attention to Desmond's importance as one of the great individualists among jazz soloists, it is good for Brent, good for listeners and good for music.

    "And it could do wonders for the dry martini industry."

    -- Doug Ramsey
