This is Bernstein 5th album as a leader.This time it is a guitar/piano based album with the fantastic Brad Mehldau on the piano.Bernstein have used Mehldau before (Something is Burnin 1992) and( Signs of life 1994)The music here is mostly Bernstein originals with 2 exceptions.The Bernstein originals on this one is perhaps a little bit less groovy, than on the other albums ,but they swing hard of course and has that kind of "eternal beauty" and with a very very strong melodic feel that is so typical for Bernstein... My favourites are "Little Green Men" and "Constant Conversation"Long time associate Bill Stewart (Larry Goldings trio) is on the drums and his report with Bernstein is almost telepatic.All in all..a wonderful album....that rewards repeated listening.
