The album's the only one we've seen by Seltzer -- a well-recorded date for the Hi Fi label in LA -- with backing from Red Mitchell on bass and Frank Hudec on drums, and an overall sound that's rich in feeling, but never too flowery or overly emotive. Stan's got a great command of the piano -- flowing across the keys with a rich understanding of its tones -- and he brings out a sound here that's way more than just simple cocktail tinkling, and which almost has the evocative power of a deeper soundtrack score of the time. Titles include "A Foggy Day", "Crissy's Blues", "Speak Low", "Have You Met Miss Jones", "Let's Fall In Love", and "Easy To Love". |publisher=Dusty Groove ]
