about

Simply one of the greatest Jazz or even Blues vocal albums of all time. Joe Williams is smooth and yet authentic. The recording quality is sublime.

Play it at the beach, the pool, the bar, for a barbecue, a romantic dinner or with a sundowner in your hands viewing the setting sun over the dune sea in the west.

Among the highlights are "I Don't Know Why," "Aren't You Glad You're You," and last but not least "Have You Met Miss Jones."

Joe Williams did his best to de-emphasize the blues (he wanted to be known as a well-rounded singer), instead choosing to uplift and personalize standards.

This is definitely the right stuff for a perfect summer feeling, wherever the road may take you.
