...Sauter-Finegan Revisited (RCA Victor). A Sauter-Finegan orchestra, with its twitters, tweets and weird percussive effects, sounds a little like a tropical jungle greeting the dawn. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Listeners should be warned that Autumn Leaves and April in Paris never sounded this way before-and hopefully never will again...
