This double-CD reissues two Bethlehem albums by pianist/vocalist
Pat Moran, plus a couple of "mystery" cuts not listed on the set. The music is certainly diverse, including boppish instrumentals by
Moran and her trio (bassist John Doling and drummer John Whited), features for singer
Beverly Kelly, and group vocals with singing by all four of the participants. The latter is the most dated, sounding a bit like
the Four Freshmen style-wise, and is certainly an acquired taste. But since
Moran only recorded three albums as a leader (the other was for Audio Fidelity) and there is some excellent straight-ahead playing on this set, the two-fer is of interest to jazz collectors. ~ Scott Yanow
