"Hard to believe it's Art Blakey on the first and third tracks; he's playing like an ordinary studio drummer. Very odd, it's like hiring Jimi Hendrix and having him strum gently in the background.

"Berstein's exuberance is a perfect match for Gershwin's music. "Rhapsody" will take you away, from opening bluesy note and seduces you with all it's jazzy brilliance.

"Along with, only the lonely, this is my favourite Frank Sinatra album. The brilliant record cover says it all, it's a light night alone LP.
