The record
A duo session that sidesteps easy jazz categorization -- Shirley's classically trained touch and harmonic reach paired with a young Richard Davis already showing the melodic bass sense that would define his career. Mid-'50s Cadence sides that reveal Shirley's singular voice years before wider fame found him.
