The record
A New York studio date built on top-shelf session muscle -- Duvivier and Johnson anchoring the rhythm, Wilder and Travis trading brass lines, Bodner's flute and sax weaving through the arrangements. Early-60s RCA vocal pop with a jazz backbone, the kind of unassuming date where the sidemen tell you everything about the era's studio craft.
