Percussion In A Tribute To The Big Bands

Nightmare - Artie Shaw
Percussion In A Tribute To The Big Bands
Featuring The Frankie Capp Percussion Group
Kimberly Records 11011

This album was a pleasant surprise. The set is a budget affair and part of a series of "Stereo In Motion" records produced by Kimberly to cash in on the "percussion" trend started by Enoch Light.

Apparently, Frankie Capp was handed existing material to overdub. Cheap? Yes. Budget cover? Yes. But the results rock compared to many budget percussion LPs I've heard. In my opinion, Capp does an excellent job of blending his work into the big band tracks to create these unique covers.
