Love Ballads: Late Night Jazz collects warm, romantic ballad material from a pretty strong array of artists, including Dave Brubeck, Oscar Peterson, George Shearing, Mel Tormé, Lionel Hampton, Joe Williams, Gerry Mulligan, and more. Although it's better to hear most of these artists' work in its original context, this sampler does an excellent job of creating its intended mood, and it's a pretty strong listen as well. --- Steve Huey, Rovi
