John Lewis - Grand Encounter - 2° East 3° West LP Black

Also reissued as 2 Degrees East, 3 Degrees West and occasionally listed under tenor saxophonist Bill Perkins’ name, this classic session is the ultimate in cool jazz. Perkins’ mellow tone matches quite well with the quiet but inwardly passionate playing of pianist John Lewis, guitarist Jim Hall, bassist Percy Heath, and drummer Chico Hamilton.

Lewis is featured with the rhythm section on “I Can’t Get Started,” Hall is added for “Skylark,” and the full group plays three standards plus Lewis’ memorable (and atmospheric) “2 Degrees East, 3 Degrees West.” Scott Yanow/AMG
