Blues and ballads share the same unhurried pulse here, Peterson's trio easing behind him while Ellis and Brown keep the bottom warm. Restraint carries the whole date.

Pressings
We hold no original-era LP for this title. Every pressing on file is a later compilation reissue: Verve VE-2-2536 in the US from 1980 and again in 1983, a UK 2683 023, and a US 833 551-1, both undated in our data. None of these is the record as first issued, so buy on condition and pressing quality rather than chasing an original here.
