From the back cover: Artie Kaplan was born, brought up and officially educated in Brooklyn, New York. His father was a small businessman with a surpassing love for music. Early Artie learned that the wide world was full of interests, different from what he was officially taught, that a man had to educate himself, a process in which he is still madly engaged. Turning to jazz, his youthful great heroes were Stan Kenton, Charlie Parker, Lester Young, Dizzy Gillespie and Stan Getz. He travelled round the country playing with Territory Bands, and with every other kind of band he could get into, playing every style of music put before him, always learning, trying everything. He has played in the Music Business for twelve years, assisting other artists, getting ideas but learning to keep them to himself, taking part in hundreds of hit records. He has been writing for ten years, and now he regards composition seriously, which means devoting himself to it whenever he can get a free hour or two. And now, at the age of 37, he is ready to say things his way. He hopes the public will like it. He venerates music, thinks almost everybody working in it has something to offer the public, and especially admires the musicians working with him. Arnie Lawrence of Alto Sax and Burt Collins on Trumpet, he thinks are "marvelous." Vinnie Bell to him is a wonderful guitar player, Bobby Dedrick, young, only 24, is someone to watch. Artie is married and has twin girls.

From the back cover: Bobby Harden and his sisters Robbie and Arleen began their vocal-instrumental career as youngsters with their own show on radio station KVLC in Little Rock, Arkansas. As their talent ripened, they appeared frequently as guest stars on Red Foley's "Ozark Jubilee" and on "Louisiana Hayride." Today, they are one of the youngest and at the same time one of the most seasoned performing groups on the musical scene.

Recorded in Hollywood, June, 1958

Capitol Records T1043

Personnel:

Trumpets: Conrad Gozzo, Frank Beach, John Best, San Rasey, Pete Candoli & Manny Klein

Trombones: Si Zentner, Tommy Peterson, Ed Kusby & George Roberts (bass trombone)

French Horns: Vince de Rosa, Jack Cave, Jimmy Decker, Dick Perissi & Art Franz

Guitar: Al Hendrickson

Bass: Jon Mondragon (alternating with) Ralph Penner

Drums: Alvin Stoller

From Billboard - October 20, 1958: An exceptional "sound" package. May's arrangements are for six trumpets, four trombones, five French horns, two tubas and rhythm. Songs included ranged from originals ("Solving The Riddle," "Brassmen's Holiday") to familiar items ("Autumn Leaves," "Moonlight Becomes You"). If all monaural disks had this kind of quality recording work, there'd be little need for stereo. Highly recommended for just plain listening and for the most particular audio fans.

Blue Strings And Rainbows - Luchi Dejesus

 

'Round Midnight

Blue Strings And Rainbows

Orchestras Directed By Luchi

Luchi Dejesus

Produced by Alan Douglas

Liner Notes by Barbara Long

United Artists Records MONAURAL UAL 3201

1963

From the back cover: Luchi Dejesus, born and raised in New York City, has been influenced by the Latin rhythms of his Puerto Rican background, the popular music that pervades the United States, his early training as a violinist, and his studies at the Dalcroze School Of Music and the American Theatre Wing, in New York City.

Immediately following his discharge from the Air Force in 1946, he turned from violin to piano and began his arranging career. Included were arrangements for Dinah Washington, Sallie Blair and Brook Benton, among other tasteful singers.

It is not unusual for this man to prefer a "Debussy feeling for mood, sometimes a Rachmaninoff feeling." Nor is is unusual for him to love the old Claude Thornhill orchestra with the beautiful, and later influential, Gil Evans arrangements.

Influenced by all types of music, loving all types, Luchi's long sojourn in Europe exposed him to many of the trends there. He was impressed by many of the jazz arrangements he heard, "particularly those in the Northern countries."

From the richness of his musical background he chose the 12 numbers to present in this album. "Easy enough to explain the choice. They're all favorites, the cream of the standards."

From Billboard - November 23, 1963: Nelson Riddle fans will recognize several Riddle big sellers, "Lisbon Antique," "Route 66 Theme" and "Naked City Theme" among the other fine tunes here. Also included are "Volare" and "Life Is Just A Bowl Of Cherries." The instrumentations are present in the usual bright, up-tempo style associated with the conductor-arranger on so many Sinatra dates.

Here And Now! - George Shearing

Here & Now!

George Shearing

Produced by David Cavanaugh

Capitol Records T 2372

1965

From the back cover: In these Shearing arrangements, orchestrated by Julian Lee, George gives full emphasis to each melody, enhances it, and gives it a lilt that lifts the heart. His scores employ a classic Shearing setting: the Quintet poised against strings. But there are even more strings than usual this time: twelve violins, four cellos and four violas, giving an extra richness to the fabric of sound. Quintet itself keeps the music on an exhilarating level that is the very essence of George Shearing – here and now.

From Billboard - August 14, 1965: Set again a lush string choir providing a rich sound backdrop, the inimitable George Shearing Quintet is magnificent. The exciting package contains such "standard" melodies as "Call Me Irresponsible," "People" and "Dear Heart." With subtle Shearing arrangements of tunes from the pens of Henry Mancini, Anthony Newly and Jule Styne the LP is pleasurable listening.

1962

From the back cover: The Admad Jamal Trio was formed in May 1951. At that time we were using Guitar - Ray Crawford and Bass - Tommy Sowell.

We started recording in 1952. I had been trying to sell the idea spasmodically since 1949, when I made certain efforts in this direction towards some of the most likely recording companies at that time... unsuccessfully.

I will always remember my very dear and long time acquaintance Chris Powell (whose group most of you "informed aficionados" wouldn't remember the late Clifford Brown being a part of). Chris' group made the first demonstration pressing with me in Toronto... where he was working at the time and I was accompanying group of singers called "The Caldwells."

Since then much has taken place... recording and otherwise, including some "5" Star record ratings (whatever that means... Ahmad's Blues, etc.,... Down Beat Magazine) as early as 1952 when the group was virtually unheard of.

I was fortunate enough to grow up with and around such musicians as Thomas Turrentine, Joe Harrs, Harold Holt, Joe Kennedy, Sam Johnson, Edgar Willis and also share the rich heritage that Pittsburgh has... Roy Eldridge, Erroll Garner, Dodo Marmarosa, Ray Brown, Art Blakely, Earl Hines, Billy Eckstein, Billy Strayhorn and many many others, including some personalities that are synonymous with Pittsburg... LeRoy Brown, Honey Boy Minor, William Hitchcock, Joe Westray, etc.

Pittsburgh was and still is a formidable territory for transient musicians, with sessions going on into the early hours of the morning. Such musicians as Jerry Elliott, Billy Lewis, Bass MaMahon and the musicians who hadn't started playing then and are doing so well now (Stanley Turrentine and others) playing Host.

This present LP was recorded in one of the most enjoyable and most compatible atmosphere that I have ever known, as far as clubs to... The AlHambra... not saying this because we own same, but because so many club owners and promoter could take a lesson from the Artist's approach toward working facilities  for the musicians and singers.

The acoustics, the piano, the lighting, the atmosphere, could only be conducive to one thing... a happy result and here it is. – Ahmad Jamal

From Billboard - May 12, 1962: Ahmad Jamal is back with another exciting album of jazz improvisations. The pianist is in top dramatic form building each of the seven selections with an eye to drawing the most out of not only the tune but the listening audience, which, on this album, was comfortably settled in Jamal's own club Alhambra in Chicago. The trio swings at a fine medium tempo through most of the set with "All Of You," "Star Eyes" and "Angel Eyes" emerging as three of the better tracks.

Little Town Flirt - Del Shannon

 

Hey, Little Girl

Little Town Flirt

Del Shannon

Arranged by Bill Ramal

Engineer: Eddie Smith

Bigtop Records 12-1308

An Embee Production

1963

From the back cover: Del thought a good deal of music but very little about making music-making as a career until he served his hitch in the Army. Before his service stint, he'd picked up guitar-playing and became nicely smooth at it,  but his playing was mostly for the amusement of himself and his friends. It was an Army buddy who first suggested that he do something more, persuading him to enter a 7th Army amateur talent contest. Del did just that thing – and walked off with a first prize. But, keep in mind; he won the award as a guitarist, not as a singer.

Back in civilian life, Del began working in night clubs in the Battle Creek, Michigan area, chiefly strumming a guitar, just now and then trying on a song for size vocally. However, it was one of those occasional vocal workouts that led him to his big future career. One night, Harry Balk, Irving Micahnik and Ollie McLaughlin heard Del singing and promptly steered him into a recording studio to cut four sides. And, those sides wound up at Bigtop Records. One of them became the runaway hit Runaway.

From Billboard - May 11, 1963: Del Shannon's current hit is teamed with a flock of his other winners on the LP. "Runaway," the lad's first is included along with "Hats Off To Larry" another one of his big ones. Dealers will want to stock this one.
