"Doris Day sizzles a top of The Page Cavanaugh Trio on "Just You, Just Me." Isn't it funny how her recordings for Columbia had those corny arrangemnts and terrible background singers, yet these never commercially released sides with a red hot jazz trio(Page Cavanaugh Trio) are among her best 50's recorded material(aside from two excellent Columbia 50's soundtracks "Love Me or Leave Me" and "Young Man With A Horn."). These tracks are generally excellent sessions recorded for radio transcriptions, Day is also backed by a swingin' group led by Van Alexander(often Kay Starr's arranger, for her jazzier stuff like "Movin' With Kay."). This same material is available in other CD packages as well, it's good music, that shows Doris Day can handle straight ahead jazz on the same level as Sarah Vaughan, or Chris Connor. Recommended"
