The record
Rodgers and Hart's score gets a trio reading with real teeth -- Ware's bass work is springy and inventive, Philly Joe pushing from behind the kit while Drew keeps his lines clean and unhurried. A Riverside songbook date that trades cocktail-hour gloss for genuine swing.
Session personnel
- Wilbur Ware — bass
