Album Review
Wonder's harmonica playing is already distinctive ("Some Other Time"), and his drumming is pretty good ("Manhattan At Six"), but his piano and organ playing give no hint of his later accomplishments. The tunes are nothing remarkable, including two co-written by Little Stevie himself ("Wondering," "Session Number 112"), and the arrangements aren't brilliant although they're noteworthy for featuring much more prominent flute than was customary during this period ("Fingertips"). The record is harmless, but it's not going to be on anybody's list of all-time favorites.
