Among other delights, this 1955 Storyville title--reissued on Black Lion--boasts one of the first versions of Tommy Wolf and Fran Landesman's classy jazz standard, "Spring Can Really Hang You Up The Most." It's one of those songs that most jazz singers feel they must attempt at some point or other. (Norah Jones demo-ed it for her Bluenote audition, in fact.) The vaguely exotic "Lazy Afternoon" was also very popular among cabaret singers at the time. Otherwise, this is a typically fresh Jackie & Roy outing with some older standards ("Lover"), a bonafide jazz tune (Clifford Brown's "Daahoud"), and some choice novelties and unknowns ("Tiny Told Me," "You Smell So Good"!). ~Richard Mortifoglio
Spring Can Really Hang You Up The Most
Thank you very, very much for the Jackie & Roy. There's very little of their excellent music out there.
