Pianist has long been such a consistent performer that none of his records are throwaways, but this particular set is weaker than most. Since several of the songs are the type that in the mid-'60s would get requested (such as 'People,' 'The Girl from Ipanema,' and 'The Days of Wine and Roses'), the program would not seem to have much potential, but mostly uplifts the material (although not much could be done with 'People') and adds a few songs (such as his own 'Goodbye, J.D.'
And ' 'D & E'). Overall, this is a reasonably enjoyable session, featuring bassist and drummer.
