RECORDING SESSIONS
A shining example of superb recording, sharp arrangements and all-round quality performance from everyone who participated, Perry's performance is comfortable and assured. He seems to be on top of his craft and he knows it. As with "Como Swings" recorded earlier in the year, this is another recording to watch as future high resolution digital systems develop.
