A hit record for
the Pete Jolly Trio in 1963,
Little Bird has mostly standards, but it is
Jolly's version of the catchy title track that caught on. Pianist
Jolly is joined by his trio -- bassist
Chuck Berghofer and drummer
Larry Bunker -- plus a pair of guests, guitarist
Howard Roberts and percussionist
Kenny Hume. This is a fine all-around straight-ahead session, highlighted by "Never Never Land," "Spring Can Really Hang You Up the Most," and "Falling in Love with Love."
