This is one of the better later recordings by Barbara Carroll. A
bop-based pianist and a cabaret singer, Carroll balanced her two very
different skills quite well throughout the date. There are a few
instrumentals along the way (including "The Way You Look Tonight" and
"Lester Leaps In") which team her with Jerome Richardson (heard on tenor
and alto) and Art Farmer (on the trumpet) along with drummer Joe
Cocuzzo and either Jay Leonhart or Frank Tate on bass. The overall music
is more jazz-oriented than some of Carroll's recordings and her
soft-spoken vocals are generally a delight; however, it is her swinging
piano that consistently takes honors. A fine all-around set that serves
as a good introduction to the music of Barbara Carroll. Scott Yanow
