Jan 31, 2007 · On a handful of tracks the strings lay out, and these are the best selections on the disc, especially MY HEART STOOD STILL and JUST ONE OF THOSE THINGS. With the strings the best track is FULL HOUSE, a Niehaus original, with excellent Bill Perkins on tenor and Bob Gordon on baritone sax. Still a decent CD, but it could have been even better.
