I heard a fragment of the title track for years as the theme song for the PRI radio show Selected Shorts.  It's good to finally hear the whole number.  The rest of the album is good too, perfect for some late night, reflective listening.

Hod O'Brien ----------Bits and pieces-------(Uptown)

 

1982 session finds O'Brien in a lush and romantic mood. I was expecting something more boppish but his playing here reminds me of Red Garland. Although he's a name I've known for years I'll need to dig out other sessions , such as the one with Warne Marsh to get my head around his style .

These 1960 recordings were the first made by Butterbeans & Susie in 30 years.  I guess these were their last recordings as well since the liner notes state Susie passed away in 1963.  There are some great small bands backing them here including Dicky Wells (who has a gorgeous solo on "Until The Real Thing Comes Along"), Gene Cedric, Sidney DeParis and Earl Warren.  The pianist and arranger on all tracks was Eddie Heywood, Jr. whose father (Eddie Sr,) had been the accompanist for Butterbeans & Susie from 1924-36.
