...play of three old pros, who are hustling like sandlotters. On third, Junior Gilliam, 30, is having the best season of his seven-year major-league career (.312), has been on base in more than 95% of the games he has started.

From somewhere between her strawberry blonde hair and her flashing silver gown, she produces a rich, round voice with a rhythmic finesse reminiscent of Mildred Bailey. All by herself she is worth the price of admission...

Trumpeter Davis is one of the more fervent admirers of the pianist whose group is currently the hottest trio in jazz.
