I’ve said it often before, but I love Heinie Beau’s arrangements. An underrated
album.

here revisits some of the vehicles that helped him get his start. The voice of
years gone by may he a little huskier now, but it is also freer and more
flexible. This collection ranges from some less than memorable ditties such as
Five Minutes More to the more enduring classics - Sentimental Journey and That
Old Black Magic. They are worthies all, and are rendered with ease, assured
style, and I suspect more fondness than shows through the rather slick veneer.
Billy May's big -band arrangements are appropriate, and the engineering is
altogether acceptable. C. B.STEREO REVIEWNovember 1963
