The record
This session's title cut bumped The Beatles from the top spot, proof the All Stars still had juice for a Broadway tune. Kyle's piano and Darensbourg's clarinet keep the frontline loose while the leader's voice turns showstopper into trad-jazz romp.

Pressings
Everything original here is 1964 Kapp. The earliest LP on file is the US stereo KS-3364 in a Hollywood pressing, but Kapp ran that same number out of Indianapolis and Allentown as well, so the plant marking is what separates copies. Mono is KL-1364, listed for the US only as a promo and commercially in Canada. London handled Britain, mono HA-R 8190 and stereo SHR 8190. DOL's 2013 180-gram gatefold, DOL982HG, is the modern option.
Showing the first pressing, audiophile reissues and copies carrying a collector marker, out of 230 pressings on file.
