Lively, easy-rolling jazz, saucy blues vocals. Very tasty.

"A fine collection of lively, but not raucous, music that can serve as a catalyst for conversation at a party or background for an enthusiastic dinner crowd. The artists are first-rate, and the cuts are well chosen to match each other in mood. Yes, it can be a very hip background disc, but this is NOT wallpaper music. Superb artists and singers are doing real jazz, and the music rewards focused listening. Funky female vocals entertain and make you smile, like "Meet Me With Your Black Drawers On;" Jack McDuff is stellar as always; Ray Brown, Stanley Turrentine -- these are fine musicians, and the collection is consistent with the overall high quality of the Jazz Moods collection. A good disc to own: nice to listen to, and versatile in a social setting."
