The always subtle and creative cornetist Bobby Hackett is teamed with pianist Sir Charles Thompson's trio on this live reissue.

It is a pity that all 14 performances were not reissued on this CD, since the 12 songs only total 62 minutes. The recording quality is decent but not impeccable; however, it is improved from the LPs.
