Amazon.com Editoral Review: Stephen Sondheim music without lyrics? Sacrilege! Actually, while it's true that "Another Hundred People" without its frenetic words ends up more relaxed than it has any right to be (never mind "Getting Married Today," which isn't even attempted), Terry Trotter's jazz arrangements of Sondheim's shows are extremely tasteful and a pleasure to listen to. In this recasting of the groundbreaking Company, the trio brings out the lovely lyric lines of "Sorry-Grateful" and "Barcelona," while "You Could Drive a Person Crazy" ends up as straight-ahead bebop with Lanny Morgan making a guest appearance on alto sax. This recording is extremely easy on the ear, especially without the original recording's trademark '70s organ sound, but to call it "easy listening" would seem an injustice. --David Horiuchi
