Reference: FSRCD 1632
"There
is so much taht could be said about this album, but until the record companies
consider using larger jackets, I shall be obliged to hold my enthusiasm in
check. I must mention Jim Hall's masterful playing is something we have all
come to expect from him. Phil Bodner, whose complete mastery of all the redd
instruments makes him a one man section, and as such, he is an invaluable
asset. Mel Lewis' consistently fine musicianship and his fiery propulsion to
the big band tracks is more thanworthy of comment Charlie's gospel-tinged THE
SHOUT, the Sebesky title tune of the album, amd Rolf Ericson's delightful jazz
waltz, PRETTY LITTLE NIEDA, coupled with the standards, make for above average
programming, something of a novelty in a business that has become mired in
anonymity. Regiona Records should feel very proud of yhis contribution, and I
repeat if this album doesn't scare a lot of people there is definitely
something wrong with the music business."
