Album Notes & Community Reviews

Building on the massive success of their debut, the drumless ensemble continues to blur the lines between sophisticated small-group jazz and commercial crooning. The leader's pristine vocal phrasing is perfectly balanced against his exceptionally swinging, inventive piano work. The record cemented their formula as one of the era's most commercially dominant sounds.
