This was singer Patty McGovern's only solo record (hence her obscurity) but the main reason to search for this rare Japanese import CD is for the inventive arrangements of Thomas Talbert. He backs the vocalist with groups ranging from a quartet to a septet that utilize such instruments as flute, French horn, clarinet and bassoon in prominent roles. With lyrical solos by trumpeter Joe Wilder and guitarist Barry Galbraith and simple but effective interpretations from McGovern on these underplayed standards, this is a very enjoyable set well worth searching for. by Scott Yanow
