She enlists heavyweights Harry
"Sweets" Edison (trumpet), Phil Woods (alto sax), James
Moody (tenor sax), Al Grey (trombone), Kenny Baron (piano), Rodney
Wittaker (bass), Herlin Riley (drums), Toots Thielemans (harmonica),
Joe Williams (vocals) and Germaine Bazzle (vocals). The album also
features trumpeter Clark Terry, widely credited with encouraging Reeves
who, while in college, performed with his band.
Familiar standards appear here such as
"Side by Side," "Tenderly," "Old
Country," and "I'm Okay." "Side by Side"
reveals a playful side of Reeves, one often sees in concert, but
rarely on wax. On it, she sings "beside herself," playing
her own foil on the classic.
