The record
Taylor is credited with the sleeve notes as well as the piano, which suits a record whose title names its intended audience. A trio with Earl May on bass and Percy Brice on drums, eight titles across a ten-inch on Prestige, Rudy Van Gelder cutting the lacquer. 'Moonlight In Vermont' and 'Lullaby Of Birdland' sit beside less familiar tunes.
