A very good album. It includes, along with the 2 very fine trombone players, the marvelous George Tucker on bass, and Al Harewood on drums.

The star of this album , for me, is the piano player Sonny Clark. His solos on almost every track brings a huge smile to my face. Along with Horace Silver and Kenny Drew, Sonny Clark brings a deep seated blues feeling to his playing that makes him one of my favorites.

As a kid, I remember seeing Ella on a daytime talk show -- Merv Griffin or maybe Dinah Shore -- while I was visiting my grandparents. This would've been sometime in the (mid?) Seventies. 

I recall how much my grandmother enjoyed Ella's scatting.  I'd guess I was six years old or so, and I'd never seen or heard anyone scat before. 

A brief snippet of a memory. But vivid.

A nice warm morning. I enjoyed a few minutes staring at our dogwood which is fully in bloom–a brief but beauteous few weeks when this hardy tree blooms. (It has been shortened by wind and snow storms twice in the last two decades!)

I’m starting off with a cd that was sent to me inscribed by the artist herself. A wonderful surprise! I really like this disc.
