The Eddie Heywood sextet had largely run their course by mid-1946. In fact, his group had expanded to a septet (with two trombones) when the first of the recordings on this CD were made. Six selections feature that melodic group (the best is "Temptation") and they back the Andrews Sisters on three other songs. The remainder of this CD is from 1947, with Heywood mostly being featured in a trio (with Peggy Mann taking vocals on three songs). He is also featured backing organist Roy Ross on "Jitterbug Waltz," leading a sextet on two songs, and accompanying singer Bob Eberly (formerly with Jimmy Dorsey) on two ballads. Overall this is an interesting variety of formerly rare performances by Eddie Heywood, closing in December 1947, right before an ailment knocked him out of action for a couple years. Scott Yanow
