This is a fine all-around set for pianist Marian McPartland. With the assistance of bassist Steve LaSpina and drummer Jake Hanna, McPartland interprets seven standards (highlighted by “I Hear a Rhapsody,” “A Sleepin’ Bee” and Oscar Pettiford’s “Tricotism”) plus her own “Melancholy Mood.” All of Marian McPartland’s Concord releases find her in excellent form, swinging in a fairly modern style that really cannot be categorized (Scott Yanow/AllMusic).

Track listing:
1. I Hear A Rhapsody (0:00)
2. Meditation (3:55)
3. In Your Own Sweet Way (7:50)
4. A Sleepin’ Bee (11:58)
5. I’m Old Fashioned (17:56)
6. When The Sun Comes Out (21:17)
7. Tricotism (24:56)
8. Melancholy Mood (29:43)
