Amazon Reviewer: 'Little Girl Blue' is the best Brubeck piano I've heard. On that extended live piece his peculiar rhythmic and harmonic experiments entirely succeed. And he's strong on much of the rest of the record. Desmond is much more laid back on this one than on 'Live at Oberlin'. If you like your jazz with the classical or even rock'n'roll bent, though, buy this one. YOu won't be disappointed.

LP Grading Guide
Mint (M): Absolutely perfect in every way. Hardly ever, or never been played, possibly even still sealed.
Near Mint (NM or M-): A nearly perfect record. A NM or M- record will play perfectly, with no imperfections during playback. The record shows no obvious signs of wear and has been well taken care of.
Very Good Plus (VG+): Record surfaces may show some signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don't affect the listening experience.
Very Good (VG): Light scratches are evident that might affect the sound, especially in soft passages and during a song's intro and fade, but will not overpower the music otherwise.
Good (G), Good Plus (G+): A record in Good or Good Plus condition can be played through without skipping. But it will have significant surface noise, scratches, and visible groove wear.
Cover Grading Guide
Mint (M): Perfect. No wear, marks, or any other imperfections.
Near Mint (NM or M-): The LP cover has no creases, folds, seam splits, cut-out holes, or other noticeable similar defects.
