I love this album.
I saw this show the next year and there was no doubt in my mind that I had to buy the CD.
In some ways this is Bill's best album (of course others may disagree). He is very comfortable with the band, they are well rehearsed, and know the music well. Ed Vodicka is a terrific pianist a la Gene Harris or Junior Mance. He provides great arrangements and accompaniment that showcase Bill's voice and style, but are also interesting to listen to. There are some gems of the swingin' blues/jazz trio genre here.
It's been a while since Bill Henderson's last album, so you will hear the difference in his voice; he sounds wiser, just as playful, and a little more throaty. I like this a lot. He's such a great singer, that it's hard to imagine that he's not aware of exactly how to use his voice in this setting to make the music beautiful, sad, playful, humorous ...well, whatever he wants.
OK, I'll shut up now; just buy it.

This recently purchased item was for my sister, the company was outstanding, with the price being the best online deal how could one go wrong. I highly recommend the company from which it was purchased.

This is a great recording by Bill Henderson. He is a master craftsman and communicator. Frank Sinatra's favorite jazz singer, and rightfully so. What taste!
