4 – (5:00) Say It Isn’t So Soft, beautiful cover of Irving Berlin classic. Piano, bass, drum backing
5 – (2:43) I’ve Got a Feeling I’m Falling Upbeat tempo on this one
6 – (3:51) One Monkey Don’t Stop No Show* Swinging number, variety of horn solos, nice
7 – (4:10) Rocking Chair Slow tempo, pretty rendition of Hoagy Carmichael tune
8 – (3:59) (Tropical) Heatwave Just so-so
9 – (4:41) You Go To My Head Mid-tempo, nice piano solo
10 – (2:37) Sugar Blues Swinging remake of Ella Fitzgerald’s version
