Since this set (reissued on CD) was originally recorded for the Prestige subsidiary Moodsville, most of the selections are taken at slow tempos. With bassist
Tommy Potter and drummer
Roy Haynes giving the pianist fine support, the trio cooks a bit on
Flanagan's "Jes' Fine" but otherwise plays such songs as "You Go to My Head," "Come Sunday" (which is taken as a solo piano feature), and "Born to Be Blue" quietly and with taste. ~ Scott Yanow
