The record
A West Coast trio outing dressed up with J.J. Johnson's trombone, digging into Weill's Threepenny Opera songbook with the swing and wit that made Previn's crossover records so listenable. Red Mitchell and Frank Capp keep it loose and conversational, turning Brecht-tinged cabaret tunes into breezy early-60s jazz.
