Cocktails In Manhattan: The Julian Gould Trio (Grand Prix K149)

Piano and light rhythm music, the kind of music one would expect to hear playing in the background of a fancy restaurant or fine formal party.

This album of Cocktail music by the Julian Gould Trio contains several standards, the number of which is shocking. Rather typical for a budget label album, the jacket's track listings do not match up with the actual records, so if one is interested in hearing Intermezzo and Time Goes By, you will be disappointed. However, if you are interested in hearing "Manhattan" and "P. S. I Love You," you may not be so disappointed or even care that the jacket lied to you.

The only downside to this album is that it is less than 30 minutes long; I wish it was longer.

The Julian Gould Trio appears to be a made-up group, as this is their only album I can find mentioned online.
