A stunning presentation of Fran Landesman and Tommy Wolf's \"Ballad of the Sad Young Men\" and a no-nonsense take on Clifford Brown's \"Joy Spring\" close out the first side. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOn the flipside, John Lewis' \"Django\" gets an impressionistic arrangement full of surprises, while a modernistic version of Don Redman's \"Chant of the Weed\" is a solo vehicle for Johnson's clarinet. The album culminates with a soaring performance of the Evans original \"Theme,\" later known as \"La Nevada.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis stereo Tone Poet Vinyl Edition was produced by Joe Harley, mastered by Kevin Gray (Cohearent Audio) from the original analog master tapes, pressed on 180g vinyl at Record Technology Inc.
