The record

A vocalist backed by a first-call Manhattan rhythm section -- Flanagan's touch, Duvivier or Morrison anchoring, Bailey keeping time -- with Clark Terry and Seldon Powell adding horn color throughout. A obscure Epic date that leans on hard-bop pedigree more than name recognition, worth hearing for the sidemen alone.
