Smooth as Chocolate on Silk
author: Mark Wilson
Solitaire Miles is a must for all jazz fans. This is a nice mix of songs all expertly rendered with accompaniments and some great violin by Johnny Frigo. The Feast of Fools podcast (show #699) takes all the credit for introducing me to this album. BUY IT, lie back and prepare to be transported away on a cloud!

Superb Ensemble
author: Gisella
I'm from Chicago, and it seems that Miss Miles has collected all of the greatest talent from our city for this beautiful recording. Of course the best thing about the recording is that it was arranged by the late, great jazz violinist Johnny Frigo. I found this album a few days ago listed on Johnny's Wikipedia site, and it's on my wishlist now! Miles and Frigo compliment each other like chocolate and truffles; His masterful arranging and playing compliment her smooth,warm vocals like nothing I've ever heard! Willie Pickens, the King of Chicago Jazz, is also a masterful jazz pianist, and Von Freeman adds a bit of sass to the whole, beautiful thing. Bravo Solitaire!
