The third
Andy Kirk CD put out by the Classics label (reissuing all of
Kirk's swing-era recordings) is primarily for completists, for the then-popular but rather dated singer
Pha Terrell is on the majority of the songs. There are some good moments from pianist
Mary Lou Williams and tenor saxophonist
Dick Wilson (particularly on the instrumentals), with the most memorable numbers being "A Mellow Bit of Rhythm," "Twinklin'," and "The Big Dipper," but
Terrell is often difficult to sit through.
