Vocalist-pianist-lyricist
Bob Dorough's first record as a leader is a pretty definitive set . Assisted by his longtime bassist
Bill Takas, drummer
Jerry Segal and sometimes trumpeter
Warren Fitzgerald and vibraphonist
Jack Hitchcock,
Dorough performs near-classic renditions of such songs as "Old Devil Moon," "Yardbird Suite," "Baltimore Oriole," "Devil May Care" and "Johnny One Note." Recommended. [Originally released in 1956,
Devil May Care was reissued on CD on 2005 and contains bonus tracks.] ~ Scott Yanow
