Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Jimmie Lunceford's band was among the few organizations of the swing era that could challenge the Ellington orchestra for ensemble smoothness, and it's particularly good on the Ellington material here, such as "Mood Indigo" and "Black and Tan Fantasy." The pieces here were all recorded in a nine-month period of remarkable productivity. The arrangements by altoist Willie Smith tend to more straightforward swing, while those by trumpeter-vocalist Sy Oliver give the band its originality, with sudden shifts in rhythm, interpolations of full sections playing complex "solo" lines, and sudden reed wails and brass punctuations cutting through the refined sectional writing. The excellent sound quality makes this an ideal introduction to the Lunceford band. --Stuart Broomer

Album Description
The jaunty Gene DePaul score for the musical play "Lil' Abner" based on the comic strip by Al Capp is heard instrumentally - and it's quite a show! "Broadway Bouquet" from 1965 is an important part of the famed Faith "string" album series - perhaps the pinnacle of his rich string sound that spanned gorgeous melodies and counterlines across sections of the large orchestra. (Bill Halvorsen)Album Description
Pianist Percy Faith, a pioneer of the Easy Listening genre, had a successful and lengthy career as the in-house conductor and arranger for Columbia Records. Faith was renowned for his musical interpretations of Broadway and motion picture music. These two reissues from Collectables on 1 CD were originally released in 1965. 24 tracks. 2003.
