Johnny certainly is in a tender mood here playing soulful ballads and mellow tunes with a small combo that includes Flip Phillips on tenor, Lawrence Brown on trombone, Leroy Lovett on piano, and Ray Brown on bass. The sound is laidback and easily swinging with a real focus on Johnny's warm and fluid alto work and the set features some nice original tunes that include "Who's Excited", "Sweepin The Blues Away", "Standing Room Only", "Below The Azores", and "Duke's Blues" plus "Tenderly" and "Nothin Yet".  © 1996-2019, Dusty Groove, Inc. https://www.dustygroove.com/item/366492
