I love those recordings, possibly not quite as much as the Dial session ballads but I don't find them bland at all. A little sugary maybe (and no solo trumpet for contrast) but with that tone and the note selection of a master of his craft it's more Madeleine than Space Dust. One of the great Sunday morning collections.
