The record
Benny Golson arranged and conducted the orchestra behind Red Holloway's tenor here, and the song list is stranger than the title suggests -- 'When Irish Eyes Are Smiling' and 'Star Of David' sitting beside folk-revival staples like 'If I Had A Hammer' and 'Where Have All The Flowers Gone.' Lew Futterman produced for Prestige in 1965.
