I found this recording on an LP at a college library (and returned it.) Tony is at his best with Rodgers and Hart lyrics and without violins. The jazz accompaniment is first rate. Every tune is superb and perfectly phrased. About twenty years ago (1979) my 12 year old daughter was in the kitchen with me while I was preparing dinner. She said:"Dad, that Tony Bennett has a terrific vocabulary." I told her Lorenz Hart had something to do with that. We were both correct.
