One of the greatest albums we've ever heard from Ben Sidran – a really relaxed, laidback album that features plenty of great tenor sax from Johnny Griffin! The style here is different from most of Sidran's other albums – never slick or polished, and always at a level that hearkens back to a more personal style of male vocal jazz – particularly that forged by Matt Dennis, Bob Dorough, Mark Murphy, and others back in the small club scene of the 50s. Instrumentation is only by a quartet with Sidran on piano, Griffin on tenor, Jimmy Woode on bass, and Ben Riley on drums – and the lovely Clementine joins in on vocals on one number. Titles include "Good Foot", "Little Sherry", "New York State Of Mind", "Girl Talk", "My Wife", "Straight No Chaser", "Try", and "Lately". CD
