Free Flight's second recording is a true classic. Flexible classical flutist Jim Walker and pianist Milcho Leviev proved that they could play practically any style perfectly, and their long and complex unisons are flawless. The quartet (which also includes bassist Jim Lacefield and drummer Ralph Humphrey) lives up to the name of the album, turning classical melodies by Chopin, Paganini (the remarkable "Paganini Caprice"), Pachelbel, and Bach into jazz, making Dave Brubeck's "Blue Rondo à la Turk" sound like a classical exercise, and also performing four of Leviev's originals.
