The record
A West Coast rarity built on a killer rhythm bench -- Barney Kessel's guitar and Jimmy Rowles' piano trading light touches under Vicky Lane's cool, understated vocals. The percussion battalion, drawn from LA's top session ranks, gives these late-'50s RCA Victor sides a loose, percussive swing rarely heard behind a singer of her profile.
