O’s Notes: George Wein has produced the Newport Jazz Festival and is a pianist and singer. The reissue is a combination of 1955’s Wein, Women and Song and another vocal effort from 1991 that was never released. While Wein does a fair job, the bright spots are guitar and trumpet solos from Howard Alden and Warren Vaché Jr.
