Claude Thornhill's orchestra was known as the "band that dared to be different" and on this collection, this difference is rooted in the innovative arrangements of Gil Evans, who later became famous for his collaborations with Miles Davis.
This CD is the fifth on Hep from Claude Thornhill and it completes his 1941-42 output, with solos from Rusty Dedrick, Irving Fazola, Randy Brooks and Danny Polo. |
