Pianist Roland Hanna interprets three famous Hoagy Carmichael tunes, two by Gershwin, and (unfortunately) the "Theme from Cats." Each tune on this LP is played with a different instrumentation, ranging from Hanna's duet with bassist Mike Richmond on "Embraceable You" to a trio, quartet, quintet, sextet and (for a poppish rendition of "Cats") ten-piece unit. Best is "Skylark," which has fine spots for trumpeter Chet Baker and guitarist Larry Coryell.
