Prachtige opnamen uit 1954, een der essentieelste vocale jazzplaten ooit volgens vele bronnen, met Brown (t), Paul Quinichette (ts), Herbie Mann (f), Jimmy Jones (p), Joe Benjamin (b) & Roy Haynes (d). Vooral ballads, met veel detail gezongen.
"Lots of folks in the country music streets of Nashville and the jazz canyons of New York were shaken up by this release, for country supersession man Hank Garland demonstrated that he could be just as persuasive rattling off swift, sophisticated bebop as he was playing thousands of country licks on the jukeboxes. Nothing fazes him, not even the tricky "Move," for Garland had technique to burn and a thoroughly modern harmonic approach. Not only that, a 17-year-old Boston kid named Gary Burton makes an astonishingly brash and assured recorded debut on vibes on this record, and bassist Joe Benjamin and the Dave Brubeck Quartet's unquenchably swinging drummer Joe Morello (who had toured with Garland when Garland was a teenager) are on hand from New York. This record seemed to promise great things ahead for Garland in the jazz world, a prospect cut sadly short later in 1961 by a crippling auto accident". (Richard S. Ginell, Allmusic).
