Ray Anthony
Conrad Gozzo, Murray McEachern, Marshal Royal, Gus Bivona, Ted Nash, Paul Smith, Mel Lewis, George Barnes and Barney Kessell.
Capitol charm from trumpeter Ray Anthony -- 2 of his classic 50s albums for the label, done in that fluid post-swing approach that made Ray such a favorite with audiences at the time! There's a lightly dancing groove throughout the set -- one that's got a real focus on the kinds of rhythms that still went down strongly on dancefloors at the time, and which still allow space enough for solo work by Anthony and bandmates that include Conrad Gozzo, Gus Bivona, Ted Nash, Paul Smith, and Marshal Royal. The set adds some bonus tracks to the original albums -- making for a 28 track package that includes "What Can I Say After I Say I'm Sorry", "Pick Yourself Up", "Swingin On Campus", "Undecided", "Love's Old Sweet Song", "Don't Be That Way", "Mr Ghost Goes To Town", and "Heat Wave".
Recorded at a time when big-band dance music was still being marketed to college students, Ray Anthony's concisely presented jazz albums are now compiled into one energetic and uplifting retrospective. Using as many as 18 pieces, trumpeter Anthony presided over these brightly balanced sessions in Hollywood and New York between 1950 and 1955. Ideal for freeway driving, retro-lounging, or hosting an informal open-air function, this crisp and sometimes quirky compendium of traditional swing melodies never relies too heavily on camp or corn; the band even pulls off a smart rendition of "Skip to My Lou" without sacrificing too much dignity. This is largely because of the arrangements written by George Williams, Dick Reynolds, Don Simpson, and Ray Anthony himself. Noteworthy jazz instrumentalists include Marshall Royal, Ted Nash, Barney Kessel, George Barnes, and Mel Lewis. Most importantly, this music is fun. Nothing too serious or complicated here -- just good clean fun. ~ arwulf arwulf, All Music Guide
Ray Anthony
Active Decades: '40s, '50s, '60s, '70s, '80s, '90s and '00s
Born: Jan 20, 1922 in Bentleyville, PA
Genre: Jazz
Ray Anthony played two years with Glenn Miller and ten with Jimmy Dorsey before forming his own band. Anthony led a group in the Pacific during World War II, then had a highly popular dance band. He probably has as much fame, if not more, as the writer of the theme for Dragnet, the novelty tune "The Bunny Hop," and the hit single "Dancing in the Dark." He also had plenty of film and TV work in the '50s, including an appearance in the film Daddy Long Legs.
