This album was originally issued as Walt Andrus with Buddy Morrow & His Orchestra on the Swingshift label. Now reissued on Hindsight, with Buddy Morrow getting top billing, it is another tribute to Frank Sinatra and his music. Morrow sat in the trombone section of the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra in 1938, a couple of years before the young Sinatra was to take over boy singing duties. Still heading a working Tommy Dorsey tribute band, Morrow's boy singer, Walt Andrus, with his strong, baritone voice, does a more than credible job of performing those standards that were Sinatra's. Andrus' voice even sounds a bit like his. This similarity is especially apparent on "Without a Song" and "The One I Love Belongs to Somebody Else." The album is a homage to Sinatra, and not a replication of the recordings he made of these tunes. The charts used by Morrow were put together by six arrangers. There is also some good instrumental solo work, most notably the sax solo by Louis Stockwell on "Oh Look at Me Now" and by Damon Gilbert on trumpet on "Can't We Be Friends?" Tom Kasperek's drums sets the pace for the band on the up-tempo numbers, which dominate this disc. While it will not replace the original, and there is no claim that this is the intention, this album is a nice adjunct, both in terms of the vocalizing and a good, swinging big band to the Sinatra albums where these songs are found. Recommended.

Buddy Morrow
Active Decades: '30s, '40s, '50s, '60s, '70s, '80s and '90s

Genre: Jazz

Throughout his career, Buddy Morrow loved playing with big bands and doing what he could to keep nostalgic swing alive. He began playing trombone when he was 12 and within two years was working locally. Morrow developed quickly and moved to New York, where he studied at the Institute of Musical Art. He made his recording debut in 1936 with singer Amanda Randolph and trumpeter Sharkey Bonano. Morrow -- known as Moe Zudekoff until he changed his name in the early 1940s -- kept busy during the swing era, working with Artie Shaw (1936-37 and 1940), Bunny Berigan, Frank Froeba, Eddie Duchin, Tommy Dorsey (1938), Paul Whiteman (1939-40) and Bob Crosby. After serving in the Navy (1941-44) he was with Jimmy Dorsey's Orchestra (1945). In 1945, at age 26, Morrow formed his own big band but it quickly failed. He became a studio musician for the remainder of the decade. In 1950 he formed a new orchestra that had strong success, giving an R&Bish sound to older standards and having a hit with "Night Train." Morrow spent most of the 1960s and '70s as a studio musician but he worked a bit with the World's Greatest Jazz Band in 1970; in the late 1970s he took over Tommy Dorsey's ghost band. Since then Morrow has been one of the few full-time big band leaders, performing melodic dance music based in the swing era.
