  • They Say...

    Pop singer Frankie Laine always liked jazz and he had a long-time friendship with trumpeter Buck Clayton. They teamed up for this well-intentioned LP with a variety of top jazzmen including pianist Sir Charles Thompson, tenor-saxophonist Budd Johnson, trombonist Urbie Green and (on a couple of numbers) guest trombonists J.J. Johnson and Kai Winding. Although Clayton and the jazzmen sound fine, Laine's vocals are certainly an acquired taste and not on the same level as his sidemen. Highlights include "You Can Depend on Me," "Taking a Chance on Love" and "Roses of Picardy."
