Originally released in 1988 under the name of the V.I.P. Trio, this audiophile recording—intended solely for the Japanese market—finally receives worldwide distribution.

Senatore’s soulful and lyrical bass shines in a program of jazz standards, recorded in audiophile quality sound.

CEDAR WALTON, piano
PAT SENATORE, bass
BILLY HIGGINS, drums

Recorded at Mad Hatter Recording Studio, Los Angeles, March 7 & 8, 1988.
