This sampler CD has 11 ballads taken from the Muse catalog that the 32 Jazz label acquired in the mid-1990s. Unfortunately, the liner notes are sparse and the recording dates are not given, although the personnel are listed; the music dates primarily from the 1970s and '80s. Featured on a selection apiece are Charles Brown on an instrumental solo piano version of "'Round Midnight"; the duo of tenor saxophonist Houston Person and bassist Ron Carter; David Newman on soprano for "Everything Must Change"; a solo guitar number by Jimmy Ponder; trumpeter Wallace Roney; Houston Person playing "Talk of the Town" with a quartet; pianist Hank Jones, cornetist Warren Vache ("I Can't Get Started"), altoist Sonny Criss, vibraphonist Johnny Lytle, and trumpeter Woody Shaw ("Imagination"). Producer Joel Dorn advises listeners to play this music in the background at a low volume. Although a bit frivolous (all of the performances are available elsewhere), the overall atmosphere is pleasing. ~ Scott Yanow, Rovi
