Limited double vinyl LP pressing of this 2001 album housed in a gatefold jacket, and covered by premium protective vinyl outer sleeve. The seven-time Grammy award-winning tenor saxophonist, Michael Brecker brings an all-star band together on this first ever ballad project titled Nearness Of You - The Ballad Book. Accompanied by Herbie Hancock on piano, Pat Metheny on guitars, Charlie Haden on bass, Jack DeJohnette on drums, and a special guest appearance by James Taylor, singing his sensational hit 'Don't Let Me Be Lonely Tonight' and Hoagy Carmichael's 'The Nearness of You', the tenor saxophonist creates rich resonant statements on 11 songs collected in two chapters and their epilogue. Brecker has updated these great songs with the addition of Pat Metheny's excellent production prowess on such great ballads as Joe Zawinul's 'Midnight Mood' and the Kurt Weill-Ira Gershwin standard 'My Ship'. 'Midnight Mood' is sensual and seductive, complete with a blithe piano solo by Herbie Hancock in the middle section. Hancock fills in the beauty of Brecker's saxophone lines on this arrangement that is partially based on guitarist Wes Montgomery's version. James Taylor sings one of the best renditions of his 'Don't Let Me Be Lonely Tonight', and it's clearly due to the excellent musicians on this LP. Pat Metheny excels as a serious jazz artist with his well thought out treatment of 'Nascente', which was inspired by Gil Evans' classic 1948 arrangement for Miles Davis on 'Miles Ahead'. Michael Brecker has clearly maintained his status as one of the best tenor saxophonists on the jazz scene, and this, his eighth album as a leader, is well within the musical excellence previously recorded.

Pretty initial necklace
Color: A, Color: A
This is a cute necklace that I ordered for my daughter. This necklace is nice because it's decent quality but I wouldn't be devastated if it broke or got lost. The initial is nicely made and the chain is delicate. It's the perfect size for my 7 year old and I think my 11 year old would also like it. When I ordered it, it was $15 but now there is a coupon to make it $12 which is a great value. I would buy it for myself if it was silver. It comes in a nice box that makes it great for gifting.

Great for daughter or friend!
Color: E, Color: E
This is absolutely perfect for a daughter for Valentine’s Day or a gift just to give. The initial is in a gold with a gold chain and a precious pink heart. Easy to use gold clasp to put it on or off. The chain seems pretty regular like most chains, but seems durable enough to wear everyday. It hasn’t tarnished or turned any necks green so it’s skin safe I would say. Wouldn’t recommend showering with it, but it has stayed gold with no tarnish. It is simple and cute for a friend, daughter, even a mom.

Great for my 8 year old daughter. Dainty and elegant
Color: K, Color: K
This necklace is perfect for my 8 year old daughter. She loves dressing up her clothes with fun necklaces and this one is so elegant and pretty. The chain is very thin so be mindful of that. It could definitely easily break if not taken care of. I do like that it has an adjustable clasp so I can shorten it to where she likes it. The chain is actually a good length so there is room to grow. It is plated so definitely not recommended to wear in water of any kind as it will eventually turn. For the price it’s a good little necklace for younger girls and having their initial on it will be something special for them. The box it comes in is sweet and has a really motivational saying in it.

Must have
This initial necklace is adorable. The gold tone is pretty and shiny without looking cheap, and the pink heart adds the perfect little pop of color. It feels lightweight but well made, and the clasp is easy to use while still feeling secure. I bought it for my daughter and it’s the perfect everyday necklace cute, simple, and special without being over the top. It’s held up well so far with no discoloration, and it looks great layered or worn alone. Such a great little personalized piece.

Beautiful necklace!
I got this beautiful necklace with my daughter’s initial and I was pleasantly surprised when it arrived. It is a 18K gold plated chain and pendant, it looks high quality, and it is very light. My toddler loves the little pink heart, it’s quite the dainty detail! It makes for a beautiful present for your daughter, niece, friend, or loved one. The price is amazing, too! Go grab one or 5!
