The record
Piano, bass and drums on a ten-inch Prestige from 1953 -- Billy Taylor with Earl May and Charlie Smith, six songs, most of them standards. 'Little Girl Blue,' 'All Too Soon,' 'Give Me The Simple Life.' Ira Gitler wrote the notes. Taylor's touch is clean and unhurried, which is either the appeal or the limitation depending on what you want from a trio record.
