by Scott YanowOne of the great tenors to come out of the 1930s is teamed with the superior (but under-recorded) swing pianist Johnny Varro, bassist Ray Leatherwood and drummer Gene Estes for this excellent date. The CD reissue finds the group romping on such songs as "I Never Knew," "Avalon," "Linger Awhile" and "Sunday"; Miller's tone on "Street of Dreams" and his haunting ballad "Lazy Mood" is as beautiful as ever.
