This album is all about Tadd Dameron (1917 - 65), one of the most important American jazz composer/musicians. The master baritone saxophonist and perennial pole winner Gary Smulyan conceived the brilliant idea of recording Dameron compositions with lyrics. The vocal part is phenomenally rendered by the young talent Anais Reno. Three songs including the lovely This Night Of Stars have hitherto never been recorded. "While Smulyan solos brilliantly throughout, Reno is the real treat here." (Bill Milkowski - DownBeat on SCCD 31936). "Smulyan here brings to light Dameron's heretofore unknown Library of Congress trove of standard-quality off-Broadway gems." (Fred Bouchard - NYCJR on SCCD 31936)
