Dodo Marmarosa - Dodo's Back!

2021 reissue

At the time of its release, Billboard gave the album a four-star review, describing it as a "swingy trio set. It's quiet piano with a fine feeling for time."
The Penguin Guide to Jazz commented that "His imagination seems as vivid as ever, although there is something stilted and awkward in some of his phrasing, as if he were nervous about getting his ideas out."
