This is Stan's first lp as leader originally recorded for Vogue on 1 May and 17/18 June 1958.
'Little Klunk' will appear later, but for the moment enjoy 'Showcase' which presents Stan playing a range of standards and most unlike the Stan we know today. Compare this with his outing on 'Little Klunk' recorded a year later where he moves into his 'Monkish Mode' and plays his own music. Both albums are enjoyable although in different ways.
