The larger part of the pieces on this fourth Strayhorn CD evolves around music Strayhorn wrote for the theater. In 1935, just out of high school, he composed a short show fantastic rhythm. A handful of numbers have survived. Including the title song and the cynical let nature take its course. A penthouse on shady avenue (one of Pittsburgh's most elegant streets) might stem from the show too, but the evidence is illusive. Although textually these songs are somewhat juvenile, musically they bear all characteristics of Strayhorn's later compositions.
Another group of theater works stems from 1952, when Strayhorn provided music to a Feederico Garcia Lorca play titled the love of Don Perlimplin for Belisa in their garden. Appear from wounded love - Premiered by the Dutch Jazz Orchestra on Portrait of a Silk Thread- his hitherto unrecorded score includes sprite music for Lorca's surrealist play is restrained and honest, yet personal and emotional expressive.
He wrote everything is Copasetic! for one of the annual shows that the Copasetics, a group of tape-dance professionals Strayhorn presided. From the early 1950s on, they staged cabaretesque fundraisers (never recorded), with music and lyrics largely by Strayhorn. These shows were important events in New York's black community, andboasted sold-out houses.
The other works on this CD are "regular" pieces, composed or arranged for Duke Ellington's Orchestra. Chelsea Bridge and pretty girl, well-known works, are featured here in their full, unabridged form, as never before recorded, while Hip, Hipper-bug and bleu house and the arrangement of Something to Live For are true world-premiers.
Strayhorns arrangement of Day Dream for Ella Fitzgerald was recorded by Ellington's Orchestra in 1957, but modern recording techniques warranted an overhaul of this CD is the raucous on the wrong side of the rail road tracks, composed for yet another theater show: Beggar's Holiday. Both Ellington and Strayhorn wrote different arrangements of this tune. This one, by Strayhorn, features an orchestral background that calls up a noisy railroad switchyard.

This is a historically significant CD for it features the Dutch Jazz Orchestra performing a dozen Billy Strayhorn numbers, including eight that 28 years after the composer's death were finally receiving their world premiere recording. The 16-piece big band does not attempt to sound like Duke Ellington's Orchestra but there are strong hints of Duke's ensemble in the arrangements. The quality of the music is consistently high, the soloists are respectful but creative to Strayhorn's recently discovered pieces and the overall results are quite memorable.

The Dutch Jazz Orchestra
The Dutch Jazz Orchestra is focused on special projects within the realm of jazz. They are specialised in performing and recording obscure, and often unknown, works by the unsung heroes of jazz. The Dutch Jazz Orchestra has quit a list of rarely performed works of composers, as Mary Lou Williams, George Handy, Gil Evans, Gerry Mulligan, Claude Thornhill, The Boyd Raeburn Orchestra, Duke Ellington and now Billy Strayhorn, on it’s name.And so in 1995 The Dutch Jazz Orchestra, lead by Jerry van Rooijen, started a new project and they released the CD “Portrait Of A Silk Threat” on which they presented unknown and never earlier recorded work of Billy Strayhorn. This CD became very successful.The Dutch Jazz Orchestra have been busy recording new materials of Billy Strayhorn. This resulted in three cd’s, “So This Is Love”, “You Go To My Head” and “Something to Live For”.In 2002 musicologist Walter van de Leur optained his doctorate with a thesis on Billy Strayhorn called Something to Live For - The Music of Billy Strayhorn. |
