The record
Standards get turned pianistic and swinging in this fertile EmArcy stretch, caught well before the concert album that made his name a household one.
Contemporary reception
No period review located yet. The vintage-press pipeline searches DownBeat, Cash Box, and Billboard for this session.
Pressings
The earliest pressing on file here is the 1954 US EmArcy, MG 36001, from the Indianapolis plant. A 1955 copy on the same number is the one our data shows with a deep groove. By 1958 that number had moved to a Mercury dark blue label, still MG 36001 -- so the catalog number alone will not date a copy and the label design has to do the work. Japan's 1992 reissue is SJ19802.
