Manhattan Jazz Quintet - 1985 - Autumn Leaves

David Matthews' second excursion into the world of small combo, bebop-flavored jazz comes as a sequel to the unexpected and spectacular success of Manhattan Jazz Quintet, wich received Swing Journal's 1984 Gold Disc Award as the #1 album in Japan for that year. Autumn Leaves reunites that same quintet, the jazz world's other MJQ, for another swinging set of classic material. This session continues the spirit of the first and improves on it in every way.
