Contemporary reception
"SOME LIKE IT HOT" -- Barney Kessel -- Contemporary M 3565 Music from the highly lauded flick provides buoyant, sprightly vehicles for this lively session by Kessel and a line-up of top talent which includes Shelly Manne, Art Pepper and Monty Budwig. The group drives itself incessantly through such as "Sweet Sue," "Runnin' Wild," "Sugar Blues," "Sweet Georgia Brown" and "I Wanna Be Loved By You." Light throughout, the deck is a natural for a breezy sales ride.
