Master bass player Ray Brown turned his attention to the cello on this 1960 recording. "I think it's a wonderful means of expression because it contains the lower range of a guitar and and the higher range of a bass," Brown said of his second instrument, "It allows you to create elaborately and fast." This album showcases a rarely heard aspect of Ray Brown's artistry.
