Well, they've gotta sell it somehow! IIRC that's a track on the album, a nice tune from Jimmy Lunceford in the 30s. (I wonder if that was the first of the many "For ------s Only" tunes (e.g. Jimmy Heath's "For Minors Only").

Always a favourite! Saw Feldman at Ronnie Scott's "old place" in 1959 , during a triumphant Xmas home visit to the UK "just after he joined Cannonball Adderley", as Simon Spillett told me. When I saw him he played only vibes, but it was his piano playing, as on this disc, that fascinated me. Tellingly, he said that Carl Perkins had been a big influence on his distinctive chording style.
