Im Jahre 1958 war der junge Komponist & Arrangeur Bob Thompson aus Kalifornien jemand, der sich dachte: Etwas Unerwartetes müsse doch wesentlich spannender sein, als althergebrachtes. Wenn Musik also unterhaltsam sein sollte, so war sein Schluss, musste sie auch Überraschungen bereithalten. Diesen Gedanken im Gepäck kreierte er einen jazzbeeinflussten, choral- und orchestralhaltigen Sound, der seinesgleichen suchte! Der Chorus wurde konzeptgebunden in die Orchestersektion integriert – und unter diesem Hintergrund veröffentlichte er für RCA Victor drei
großartige Alben. Das Ergenis dieser Kooperation lässt sich immer noch hören!
Solisten: Don Fagerquist, Ted Nash, Bud Shank Pete Candoli, Ronny Lang, Milt Bernhart Frank Rosolino, Red Callender Larry Bunker, Shelly Manne
Back in 1958, Bob Thompson was a young arranger and conductor from California with the firm belief that the unexpected is exciting. If music is going to be fun—he reasoned—it ought to have surprises. With that in mind, he created a jazz-influenced choral-orchestral sound he could justifiably call his own. The chorus, thanks to Thompson’s astute conception, became an integrated section of the orchestra.
This collection presents the three great albums he recorded for RCA Victor, including a batch of choice standards and several of Thompson’s own compositions, all light-hearted and with the infectious flavor that was his signature. You will find his music refreshing, adventuresome, spontaneous, swinging, sensuous, hip, and, above all, intelligent. It was especially designed with an eye (and both ears) toward Stereo, and includes the excellent musical contributions of some outstanding Hollywood jazz musicians.
Bob’s albums are some of the finest examples of what later became known as Space Age Pop records. (freshsoundrecords. com)
