This CD gathers twenty of their best-loved recordings, spanning the cheerful novelty of ‘Rag Mop’ and the tender romance of ‘It Only Hurts For A Little While’ to the lush, orchestrated sweep of ‘Harbor Lights’. The collection also includes ‘The Naughty Lady Of Shady Lane’ and ‘Melodie D’Amour’, two tracks that showcased their easy charm and precise ensemble blend.
