Decca Records Mono 1956
Ellis Larkins' style is completely his own. It is neither boisterous nor bounding on the one hand, nor on the other hand is it soft and saccharine. Its swing origins are augmented by sophisticated harmonies, subtle innuendos, and resonant chord structures. His playing in the best tradition of popular jazz keeps the melody sustained and the themes layered and hypnotic. This album, recorded in 1956, features two long medleys in which Larkins seamlessly weaves some of the era's best standards together into a memorable set of nostalgic classics.
