Peterson’s fleet fingers dance through a short intro leading to Armstrong’s usual laid-back vocal. The casualness of same should not distract the listener from the acute musicality of Pops’s performance. This finesse follows through his solo turn as well. Composer Cole Porter’s importance to the jazz repertoire is borne out again in this 4+ minutes of joy.
