An overlooked gem, unjustly maligned.

  • We Say...

    The jazz critics who slaughtered this wonderful album upon its 1969 release must have been listening with lead-lined earmuffs. Sure, the arrangements are more "pop" than the stuff Tjader cut with George Shearing and Dave Brubeck, but his fluid-yet-articulate vibraphone style really brings out the sparkle in Bacharach's sophisticated melodies — most notably on "I Say A Little Prayer," "Message to Michael" and "Walk On By." If you're not ready to loosen your tie and shake up a martini by the end of "Moneypenny," you just might be Dick Cheney.
