"A very sweet recording. Each song is handled with care and executed with a relaxed swing. The record is consistantly mellow which makes is it perfect for relaxing moments. Guitarist, Hank Mackie, is a gem and is very reminiscent of George Van Eps. His tone and chord selection are as tasteful as any of the greats and his timing and phrasing is superior. Clarinetist, Tim Laughlin, is a wonderful player. His tone is warm and his solos are concise, melodic and swingin' As a lover of great guitar music, I only wish that I could hear more of Hank Mackie."
