Teddy Wilson – Live At Santa Tecla

AllMusic Review by Scott Yanow

For this Italian session, pianist Teddy Wilson is joined by bassist Lino Patruno and drummer Carlo Sola for a runthrough on a variety of standards. A pair of Ellington two-song medleys, three songs from Porgy and Bess and the usual repertoire (including a fresh version of "After You've Gone") form a predictable but enjoyable set by the definitive swing pianist.
