The record
A curio from the early-'60s vogue for jazzing Broadway, this one built on Lionel Bart's Oliver! score with Clark Terry and Tyree Glenn adding brassy wit to Dorough's puckish arrangements. Small-group swing with a sly, storybook charm, held together by Ben Tucker's easy walk and Al Schackman's spare guitar lines.
