Shorty Rogers' 'Jazz Waltz' is exactly that, an
exploration of ten compositions played in waltz
settings. Only these big-band charts are hardly
the waltzes heard on Lawrence Welk's long-running
television series. Rogers kicks off with a
swinging number ('I'm Gonna Go Fishin'') written
by Duke Ellington for the soundtrack to the film
'Anatomy Of A Murder' and featuring the leader's
rich flügelhorn. The lyrical take of the
centuries-old folk melody 'Greensleeves'
alternates between the tense rhythm section and
Bud Shank's gorgeous flute solo. Rogers'
delightful 'Be As Children' almost sounds as if it
was adapted from a gospel song. The brisk
treatment of Ellington's 'Echoes of Harlem',
featuring Paul Horn on flute, is refreshing. Only
Bobby Scott's 'A Taste of Honey' is the least bit
disappointing, simply because this arrangement
isn't quite as adventurous as the rest of the
album. Originally issued by Reprise in 1962 and
out of print for decades.
