Jazz
Recorded: 1962
This 1962 album was Neal's last jazz record before he moved on to Hollywood to compose soundtracks, and it was something of a summation of his entire career in jazz arranging, with quotes from his work with Woody Herman and Count Basie as well as transpositions of well-known solos to new instruments. Simply put, any Hefti fan is going to LOVE this long out-of-print release; a master at the peak of his powers! |
