Release Notes:

Simon and Garfunkel's Bridge Over Troubled Water was the hottest
album in the land in 1970, and Paul Simon's tunes from that and
their earlier albums unexpectedly find a congenial advocate in
Paul Desmond. Against the odds as determined by bopsters, Desmond
finds something beautiful, wistful, and/or sly to say in each of
these ten tunes, backed by Herbie Hancock's Rhodes electric piano
and a set of ravishing, occasionally overstated (as in "America")
orchestrations by Don Sebesky. "The 59th Street Bridge Song" is
given a jaunty, carefree rendition, adapting quite well to a jazz
treatment (after all, Desmond's old teammate in the Brubeck
quartet Joe Morello played drums on S&G's original record) and
Desmond even does some cascading overdubs on his solo part.
"Cecilia" is a fast samba, Desmond cleverly works his old "Sacre
Blues" into the solo on "El Condor Pasa," and the title track has
a breathtakingly pretty fadeout. Hancock's solos often reflect
where he was personally at in 1970, with ideas transferred from
his progressive electric Sextet. This is a Creed Taylor production
in all but name; the sound, track editing, and production values
are right in line with the A&M CTI line, but Sebesky is listed as
producer, Taylor having recently severed his ties with A&M to form
his own label.
