The record
A St. Louis cocktail-jazz outfit built around Jeter Thompson's crisp piano, dressed up here with bongos and congas for extra rhythmic lift -- souped-up standards and swinging originals aimed squarely at the party crowd. Decca gave the group's supper-club charm a wider shot, capturing mid-'60s piano trio fare with a Latin-tinged pulse.
