Several previous attempts of Sammy's mid-60's recordings on CD have sounded like playing a scratchy 78 speed record. The sound on this recording is distinctive and clean. Featured are several songs not quite as familiar - such as "Soon", "Can't We Be Friends" and "Falling In Love With Love" - that remind you what a great song stylist Sammy was. The collection is a mix of up tempo toe-tappers and smooth ballads. No use of a string accompaniment; just a showcase of a great rhythm and horn section along with a vocalist that often goes underappreciated. You don't have to be a Sammy fan to enjoy this one. It is a nice addition to any jazz collection.
