Title: A Jazz Affair
Review: Will Friedwald loves his subject and it shows. I learned a lot and agree with, perhaps, 95% of his judgments. But some of his dismissals sound perfunctory and I'm not even sure that he even reviewed the relevant material. Example: Jonny Mathis in the "Must Avoid" Department. Generally true, but certainly not the very first albumn (CK 64890) which has some excellent vocals and arrangements in the jazz idiom. "Easy to Love" and "Star Eyes" are splendid and his "It Might as Well be Spring" is one of the best, at least to my ear. But I almost forgive him since he praises the much-neglected Dakota Staton. Almost, but not quite. And, please, David Raksin deserves to have his name spelled straight. Anyone who could compose "Laura" and "The Bad and the Beautiful" deserves editorial accuracy.
