    Indeed!° A great surprising album

    Ella sound terrific.

    But it is very disappointing that there are no solos by any of the musicians. With a rhythm section that includes Paul Smith and Jim Hall a few solos in the middle of tunes would be highly appropriate.

    It seems there are jazz vocal albums that have solos by the musicians and others that do not. In my opinion, a jazz recording is always much better when the listener gets to hear some playing by the musicians on the session.

    I think it was Ella's date only! BTW there  exists another  album (same location) issued recently.

    Chico Hamilton Quintet - South Pacific in Hi-Fi [Vogue UK, 1958 mono]

    I like all Chico's albums in the 50s (and beyond) but this strikes me as the weakest. Perhaps the source material or concept gets in the way

    Have the album in the MOSAIC box. But cant say its a weak album. Have most of his albums on Pacific and Impulse.. Like the group very much.
