The Wizard Of Oz And Other Harold Arlen Songs 180gr LP

Shorty Rogers (arr, cond, tp); Jimmy Giuffre (ts, cl); Herb Geller ts); Bud Shank (as, ts); Bob Enevoldsen (tb); Pete Jolly (p); Barney Keseel (g); Larry Bunker (vib); Joe Mondragon (b); Mel Lewis (dr)

Shorty Rogers took the majority of numbers on this
LP from the musical 'The Wizard Of Oz', which
Americans in the Fifties knew from Broadway and
from the cinema. But to detect basic jazz
improvisations within them and arrange these was a
real challenge. To achieve the best possible
result, it needed a man as brilliant as Shorty
Rogers to tackle the score with a baton in his
hand.
The six musical titles on Side A ? all of which
Judy Garland sang, performed, and virtually
embodied and which, of course, were all smash hits
? offer a wonderful opportunity for elaborate
improvisations by all soloists thanks to their
simplicity, catchiness and lightheartedness. Worth
special mention are 'Ding Dong!' and 'Over The
Rainbow', with the delightful miniature piano
concerto by Pete Jolly.
The five numbers on the B Side are all well known
to jazz fans, and have been for many years,
because Harold Arlen contributed repertoire to the
Great American Songbook. 'Blues In The Night' is
not quite 'black' enough ? but that?s only logical
since they were white West-Coast musicians, and
not from Harlem. But otherwise all the numbers
have that famed cool drive, which audiences under
the warm Californian sun so loved in the Fifties
and Sixties.
Both sides of this LP are proof positive that
Shorty Rogers and His Giants perform music that
swings. And who?s to say that such music shouldn?t
be jolly and fun?
