This is one of my favourite albums. Buddy swings with this AL COHN band as never before. Watch out for Clark Terry behind the singer, and Mr. Piano taking some parts of "Amy". Superb!

1. You're driving me crazy

2. The nearness of you

11. You're something else (buddy greco)

12. Hallelujah I love her so (ray charles)

The second album arranged by AL COHN. The group obvious enjoyed recording this album. Great songs.

Perhaps Buddy's second best album of the sixties. Robert Mersey's arrangements are beautiful. Listen to 'BUT BEAUTIFUL". Buddy knocks Billie Holiday off her feet, with this copy of Ray Ellis arrangement. But almost all songs are splendid: the up-tempo Come rain or come shine and After the lights go down low, with the famous Greco yelps. A great album!

Buddy back at his roots. This is the Buddy Greco Trio. On 'this could be' (and others) the Epic guys added muted trumpets and voices, but the original items are all trio work.

Listen again to the typical Greco yelps and Buddy's excellent piano pieces : You're the top!
