More 'Kind of Blue', ironically, I'd say! I think I would have recognised Kenny as the soloist, if only by the fractionally off-the-beat manner of his phrasing - something he would go on to make innovative and influential use of, later on.Originally posted by kindofblue View PostComment

In case this was missed: the music in Calib's question is Johnny Richards & his Orchestra as I have quoted abovePacta sunt servanda !!!Comment

Excellent! The tenor sax (because I was curious listening to your link) was probably Frank Socolow, a new York "journeyman"Originally posted by Flay View Post
player according to Fresh Sounds. Although he did record with Bud Powell etc.Comment

Johnny Richards used to be featured quite regularly when I used to listen to Alan Dell's programme on Radio 2 in the 1980s. He was principally an arranger for Stan Kenton.Comment

Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

Remarkable, Holmes; I must seek initiation to the Shazam devilry...
And the album is on Qobuz too

I agree about Kenny Wheeler's solo, his phrasing is definitely looking forward. Do you know when he started to prefer the flugelhorn?Originally posted by Serial_Apologist View Post
I think the tuba player is likely to remain a mystery for some time...Comment

Not sure he ever did - unless you know something different. What is quite interesting is that in a few of his later recordings Kenny performed on a cornet given to him at the age of 12 by his father.Originally posted by kindofblue View Post
Particularly since his head appears to have been replaced by the bell of the horn from that angle!!!I think the tuba player is likely to remain a mystery for some time...

I'm pretty sure this is a flugelhorn. Whatever, it's an extremely poignant piece of film -Originally posted by Serial_Apologist View PostNot sure he ever did - unless you know something different.

The tuba player was probably Ron Snyder, "a mediocre player" according to the write ups. When Zoot Sims sat in and asked the JD band to play something a semitone up, Ron carried on in his original key as the horn section collapsed. Not a happy Zoot.Comment

Thanks for the thumbs-up about this series, Caliban. I'm enjoying it.
As well as the cool music (including Shostakovich), there are some decent descriptive turns of phrase.Pacta sunt servanda !!!Comment
