His is part one of an outstanding four-volume collection from Lone Hill Jazz, which features all of the 13 sessions that West Coast alto saxophonist Lennie Niehaus recorded as a leader during his career from 1954-1957. These new editions scrupulously respect the chronological order of the distinct sessions, which were presented in a rather chaotic fashion in their day.
This CD features two quintet sessions and two octet sessions taken from "Lennie Niehaus Vol. 1: The Quintets (10")", "The Octet (10")" & "Lennie Niehaus Vol. 3: The Octet # 2 (LP)". Includes outstanding standards such as "I'll Take Romance", "I Remember You", "How About You?", "The Way You Look Tonight", "The Night We Called It a Day", "Have You Met Miss Jones?", "Nice Work if You Can Get It", and "You and the Night and the Music".
Lennie Niehaus
Active Decades: '50s, '60s, '70s, '80s and '90s
Born: Jun 11, 1929 in St. Louis, MO
Genre: Jazz
Styles: Bop, Cool, Mainstream Jazz, Film Music
An excellent altoist and jazz arranger in the 1950s (most notably for Stan Kenton), Lennie Niehaus in more recent times won fame for his work scoring the music for Clint Eastwood films. After graduating from college, Niehaus played alto and occasionally wrote for Kenton (1951-1952) before being drafted for the Army (1952-1954). Upon his discharge, Kenton welcomed Niehaus back and he worked for the bandleader on and off for the rest of the decade. Niehaus, who led and played alto on six albums between 1954-1957 (five for Contemporary), had a cool tone a bit reminiscent of Lee Konitz. By the 1960s, his playing had gone by the wayside as Niehaus concentrated on writing for films. Although he largely left jazz at that time, his work on Play Misty for Me, and particularly Bird for Clint Eastwood, allowed one to once again admire his jazz writing.
