One aspect of Jackie & Roy's carefully arranged music that is not often commented upon, is that Jackie & Roy always bring in the jam.

This is true of their first album with Charlie Ventura's band, up until their last, the magnificent THE BEAUTIFUL SEA. Well, I haven't heard as much Jackie & Roy as would like to, but I have been given no reason to assume anything else.

Highlights for me on this album are MAGIC TO DO, as well as the three tracks on which Roy Kral has a composers credit. A FACE LIKE YOURS should also not be overlooked.
