personnel :

Harmonica, Guitar, Whistle – Toots Thielemans
Piano, vocal – Shirley Horn
Electric Bass – Charles Ables
Drums – Steve Williams

The emphasis is on ballads for harmonica player Toots Thielemans' outing with the Shirley Horn Trio. Horn, in addition to contributing some tastefully supportive piano and occasional solos, takes a vocal on "Someone to Watch Over Me." Toots sounds quite relaxed performing 11 standards (only "Blues in the Closet" generates much heat) plus his original "For My Lady" with such comfortable backing.~Scott Yanow
