The record
A pop-jazz vehicle built around the title tune, with Lloyd Mayers fronting a stacked early-'60s studio brass section -- Clark Terry, Snooky Young, Doc Severinsen on trumpets, Urbie Green among the trombones. Barretto's bongos add a Latin lilt beneath the arrangements, a snapshot of United Artists' brief run at big-band easy listening.
