Title: BUY THIS... NOW!
Review: Once upon a time, there were lounge acts and main room acts. The lounge acts are all but gone now. Louis Prima and Keely Smith were the consummate lounge act. They came to Vegas practically starving and became the toast of the Strip. Main room luminaries, such as Sinatra, whiled their after hours with Prima and Smith.Backed by the Witnesses,led by the greatly overlooked and under appreciated Sam Butera, Prima and Smith simply wailed. Butera plays the most lascivious sax around. Listen to him solo or support and be amazed. Don't forget that Prima was a first rate trumpet player in the New Orleans style. As hard as they swing, that style informs their sound.Contrasted to Prima's heat is Smith's cool. She can cut loose, too. If only for Tenderly/Can't Help Loving That Man, buy this record! If you don't come away from this recording happier than before you listened to it, there's something amiss.
