"I saw this and thought it was too cheap to be any good. I bought it and was pleasantly surprised.
Chet plays and sings standards with an orchestra, similar to Chet with Italian strings album. He plays well and sings in tune (not always the case elsewhere). "Autumn in New York" is quite poignant. "Good-bye" is heartfelt, as is "Angel Eyes". Music is romantic, pop, and nonchallenging. Most songs are instrumental, a few have vocals too.
The only problem I have is there is alsolutely no info in the album of when this was done, who the Len Mercer orchesta is, nothing at all. Enjoy, save money!
On my tough grading system, a 4 star album, lowered one star for no album info. Recording quality is not wonderful but adequate, orchestra on right, Chet on left."
