The only vocalist to ever record with Miles Davis, Bob Dorough was also
an exceptional pianist, composer, arranger and lyricist. This outstanding
69-minute release showcases the enigmatic musician's formidable piano skills along side flute and clarinet virtuoso Sam Most, bassist Bill Crow and drummer Joe Morello. Tasteful from start to finish, this sterling release is a must have for any jazz collector.
