"I have owned the 2 LP's this CD is comprised of for longer than I care to admit. What a thrill to find that they have been reproduced on CD. Special attention should be given to "Gravy Waltz" with words by the inimitable Steve Allen to say nothing about "Every Day". The side men on this album are superlative and never to be equalled. Actually, "At Newport `63" is my favorite album out of the two but I can't see how anyone can go wrong with anything by Joe Williams whom I have enjoyed ever since what I believe was his first album, "A Man Ain't Supposed to Cry". His passing was a tremendous loss and I am still overwhelmed when I hear him.All I can say is "buy this album"."
