Baritone Saxophone – Danny Bank; Bass – Milt Hinton; Clarinet, Alto Saxophone – Tom Gwaltney; Drums – Oliver Jackson; Guitar – Kenny Burrell; Piano – Dick Wellstood; Tenor Saxophone – Buddy Tate; Trombone – Dickie Wells; Trumpet, Leader, Arranged By – Buck Clayton; Vocals – Nancy Harrow. Recorded at Nola Penthouse Studios, New York, November 2 and 3, 1960.
Although singer Nancy Harrow made a strong impression with this debut recording (which has been reissued on CD), she did not lead another record date until 1978 other than a lesser-known effort for Atlantic in 1966. Obviously the years of obscurity were not deserved, for this set is a near-classic. Harrow is heard in her early prime singing such veteran songs as "All Too Soon," "On the Sunny Side of the Street," the seven-minute "Blues for Yesterday," and the title cut (originally done by Ida Cox in the 1920s). A more modern stylist (although influenced by Billie Holiday a little) than the material she performed at the time, Harrow is joined by such top mainstream players as trumpeter Buck Clayton (who provided the arrangements), tenorman Buddy Tate, trombonist Dickie Wells, and pianist Dick Wellstood. Highly recommended, Harrow's debut date has plenty of spirit and enthusiasm. ~Scott Yanow
