Allmusic[3]

The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow stated "When one considers the repertoire -- eight songs from movies ... this recording may not seem to have much potential. But actually, the set list includes four well-known standards and all of the music is transformed into creative and consistently exciting jazz ... and the performances are generally quite memorable. Recommended".[3]

Personnel
gollark: Also, are there any reasonably cheap phones with removable batteries and no notch still around?
gollark: It's the bit which provides all their weird proprietary APIs.
gollark: Google Play *Services*, not the store.
gollark: OnePlus seems to have been steadily raising their prices, in accordance with the general phone market.
gollark: I don't know what you mean by "smooth" and I don't see how excessive vertical integration helps.
