This session comes from close to the end of the line (1959) in the erstwhile swinging company of Barney Kessel on guitar, Ben Webster on tenor, and naysayers will be quick to point out that "Lady Day" wasn't in peak form here.

[The 2002 reissue features three different versions of "Comes Love."] ~ Cub Koda, Rovi
