"I'm Seeing Rainbows" starts with some startling drum work from Johnson before settling into a fairly uptempo and energetic jazz groove. The melody reminded me a bit of "Just You, Just Me".

This is followed by "Ordinary People", a tender ballad that features Phil Woods and, according to the liner notes, took eleven takes and two hours to get.

Cha-cha rhythm and a bit of Mancini-ish whimsy infect "The Cocoa Bean Song", which benefits greatly from Osie Johnson on the drums. Taylor plays wonderfully as well with a bright, light and cheerful touch that might remind you of Vince Guaraldi.

The first album side closes with "What's Wrong With Me", which lets Phil Woods cut loose on a brisk, driving yet relaxed piece that has some West Coast jazz energy in it.

Flip the record and first up is "Nothing More To Look Forward To", a soulful and swinging number with a but of a New Orleans feel to it.

"Another Time, Another Place" has a Cole Porter meets Duke Ellington sort of shape and lets Jimmy Cleveland step out on the trombone, as well as Mr. Woods again on the alto. Les Spann gets a nice guitar break too! And Taylor has a relentless and brilliant piano solo

Then it's ballad time again with "Happy Is the Cricket", a delicate and beautiful piece in which Taylor's piano is mesmerizingly lovely.

Finally there's "Sun Is Beginning To Crow", another gloriously swinging tune, definitely ending on a high and letting the baritone sax take the spotlight also. It's a mystery to me why these tunes aren't standards. I don't think I'd ever heard any of them before, and that's just bizarre.
