The record
Earl May's bass and Charlie Smith's drums stay right at Taylor's shoulder across eleven tracks -- "Tenderly," "My One And Only Love," "The Surry With The Fringe On Top," alongside oddities like "B.T.'s D'T.s" and "The Bird Watcher." Trio playing with nothing to prove and no wasted motion. A 1955 Prestige compilation, remastered mono, LP 7016, lacquer cut by Rudy Van Gelder, notes by Ira Gitler.
