Tom Talbert has long been a fixture in Los Angeles, writing arrangements, recording albums and occasionally appearing with his big band in local clubs. He is known for recording one classic set in the 1950s (Bix Duke Fats which has been reissued by the Modern Concepts label) but even veteran collectors can be forgiven for not being familiar with the historic recordings that are on his Sea Breeze CD since the majority of these valuable performances were previously unissued. Talbert led an orchestra in Los Angeles during the 1946-50 period that was (thanks to his advanced writing) as modern as the big bands of Stan Kenton and Boyd Raeburn without copying either. The first four numbers on this CD feature trumpeter Frank Beach and tenor-saxophonist Babe Russin as the chief soloists and "Flight of the Vout Bug" (which is actually from a session led by Lyle Griffin) showcases pianist Dodo Marmarosa and the tenor of Lucky Thompson. However it is the charts from 1949 that are of greatest interest for among Talbert's sidemen are altoist Art Pepper, Jack Montrose on tenor and pianist Claude Williamson. The music, with its cool-toned reeds, powerful brass, advanced harmonies and solid swing, still sounds fresh and enthusiastic and the occasional vocals are well done. Artistically this orchestra was quite successful but the band business was collapsing at the time and, when Stan Kenton reformed his orchestra in 1950, Tom Talbert broke up his group and went back to writing fulltime. Fans of modern big bands should be quite excited by the long-overdue release of this exciting and historic music on SeaBreeze. Highly recommended.

Thomas Talbert has been one of the finest arrangers of the past half-century but remains quite underrated due to the relatively few recordings he has made as a leader. He was inspired to become an arranger while hearing the big bands of the swing era on the radio. He developed his piano-playing skills, and played in high-school organized bands to try out his arrangements. After a period in the military (1943-1945), Talbert moved to California and on-and-off during 1946-1949 he led an advanced orchestra that struggled unsuccessfully to survive; fortunately many of their rare recordings from this era (and quite a few previously unreleased) have come out on a SeaBreeze CD. Talbert spent part of 1947 touring with Anita O'Day, and in 1950 he moved to New York. As a freelance writer, he arranged for Claude Thornhill, Tony Pastor, Johnny Smith, Oscar Pettiford, and Don Elliott among others. In the mid-'50s, Talbert recorded an album featuring singer Patty McGovern (Wednesday's Child) and a classic of his own (Bix Fats Duke); both have been reissued on CD. From the mid-'60s until the early '70s, Talbert lived in the Midwest, working with a 12-piece band. In 1975 he relocated to Los Angeles where he has written for the L.A. studios and led a part-time orchestra plus a septet, recording several sets for SeaBreeze.
