Dreamy Review

The emphasis is on ballads on this Roulette LP with the great singer Sarah Vaughan backed by a string section arranged and conducted by her regular pianist Jimmy Jones (although on this set Ronnell Bright actually does the piano playing). Trumpeter Harry "Sweets" Edison contributes some soft melodic trumpet but the focus is very much on the singer during such numbers as "The More I See You," "Star Eyes," "My Ideal" and "Crazy He Calls Me." This is nice music that deserves to be reissued on CD eventually. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide
