Right. "Pipe Dreams" is a decent record. Fine brass work. Sounds almost as 
good as the Dick Jurgens band's ensemble sound. At that slow tempo and loud 
volume those guys knew how to breathe. (had to)
A well rehearsed orchestra and Reynolds himself had an interesting slow 
vibrato on the clarinet. Reminds me a bit of J. Dorsey.

Al Simmons
