The cabaret singer/pianist Bobby Short is teamed with the Howard Alden-Dan Barrett Quintet for this pleasing set. The band actually sounds overly gentle, failing to really push Short and not showing much individuality. However this is one of Short's more jazz-oriented sessions and, even if he doesn't swing much, his vocals are good-natured and the standards he interprets are superior. Recommended for Bobby Short's many fans.
