Two sweet bossa groovers from singer Pat Thomas – both of them with backings by Lalo Schifrin! The tunes were pulled from Pat's album of the same name on MGM – issued here in a pic sleeve by Verve, with "first vocal version in English" next to "Desafinado"!

One hit wonders – but what a hit! "Reach Out Of The Darkness" was one of our fave tracks when we were just little kiddies – and now it's even better to like, because the heavy drum sound of the cut has been sampled, and we can own the record as beatheads without any embarrassment!

One of the records that really broke Buddy DeFranco out of the box – a loosely structured early Verve side, done with tracks that are longer than usual – letting Buddy and his combo really swing! The group features strong rhythm from Kenny Drew on piano, Milt Hinton on bass, and Art Blakey on drums – a group that would be great enough on its own, but is here topped by some incredibly fluid clarinet work from DeFranco – in a mode that you'd almost swear was bop alto sax at times! EP features 2 longish titles that include "But Not For Me" and "When Your Lover Has Gone".
