Gloomy Sunday And Other Bright Moments - The Bob Brookmeyer Orchestra

The Bob Brookmeyer Orchestra
Verve V6-8455
1961

Here's another fine space age/jazz/big band/pop album produced by the amazing Creed Taylor. I was drawn to the LP by the title and the artwork which is credited to Olga Albizu. The album is generally peppy jazz/big band. There are several tracks like Gloomy Sunday that work with the cover art.

Caravan
Why Are You Blue
Some Of My Best Friends
Gloomy Sunday
Ho Hum
Detour Ahead
Days Gone By Oh My
Where, Oh Where
