“Every jazz musician wants to grow with and through his or her art and John Stein is no exception. But jazz is elusive, and capturing that growth is a tricky process. If we’re fortunate, when the studio light blinks, we end up with the very best of the music’s elusive spirit preserved on disc. That is what we have here.” (Ed Hazell, from the liner notes)
