I've always adored this enchanting number, from WB's _Cowboy From Brooklyn_ ! The Dorsey orch was extremely active in the recording studios throughout '37 and '38; though, maintaining the leader's high standards, the band produced many of its classic sides in this period, it also put out some duds -- which may have been the reason behind the conspicuous overhaul of '39, which resulted in the very different Dorsey crew of 1940. Among the gems of busy '38, however, is this very beautiful side. For starters, there's the leader's gorgeous Solo-tone muted melody statement. Then there's what I consider to be one of Jack's finest vocals. His delivery of Mercer's romantic and picturesque is perfect -- in interpretation, tone and phrasing. The pretty arrangement sounds as if it might have been the work of Axel Stordahl.
