Conductor, Arranged By – Benny Golson
Vocals – Jimmy Witherspoon

Recorded in Stockholm, Sweden, July 15-20, 1964

Jimmy Witherspoon is accompanied by a large orchestra arranged by Benny Golson for a set emphasizing slow tempos (even on "And the Angels Sing" and "Who's Sorry Now"), ballads and blues. Nothing all that memorable occurs, but the singer is in strong voice, and his fans will want to pick up this interesting CD reissue. ---Scott Yanow, AllMusic Review
