Like Someone in Love is a live album by saxophonist Paul Desmond recorded in 1975 at the Bourbon Street jazz club in Toronto, Canada but not released by the Telarc label until 1992.[1] The album's tracks were remixed and re-released in 2020 as part of the Mosaic Records boxed set The Complete 1975 Toronto Recordings.

Reception

Allmusic reviewer by Richard S. Ginell said "Recorded live in Toronto's Bourbon Street Jazz Club several months before the live dates released on Horizon and Artists House, it finds Desmond growing comfortable with his new Toronto friends but not quite settled into their laid-back ways quite yet. ... Desmond seems to produce his best work in the material that he seems most familiar with... The boxy, confined live sound doesn't suit the late saxophonist but every precious unreleased note from Desmond is definitely worth sampling at whatever sonic level".
