This late 1968 release seemed innocent enough at the time; and actually, it was a sincere effort to use a then newly-practical interpretive instrument, the Moog synthesizer, in a decidedly traditional musical manner. Indeed, at the time, it was simply extending -- in a somewhat more forward-thinking direction -- the kind of attention that had been devoted to Johann Sebastian Bach's music as early as 1782, barely over 30 years after the composer's death, when Mozart wrote a set of string trio arrangements of some of Bach's keyboard works. Heard 40 years on, the approach here seems very tame and formal, but in 1968 it offended some Baroque purists (of ...

Erich Kunzel Got Swing! CD (2003)

If there is one thing that Erich Kunzel has achieved in his many years with the Cincinnati Pops, it is the by no means easy feat of getting a symphony orchestra to swing. About 14 years after a previous, star-studded salute to swing, Big Band Hit Parade, Kunzel came back with another, perhaps less star-studded yet no less swinging paean to a still-beloved era. The two star soloists this time happen to be Telarc signees John Pizzarelli and Janis Siegel, who brought along the entire Manhattan Transfer with her. How does Kunzel do it? For one thing, the orchestra is sprinkled with authentic jazzers like alto saxophonist Antonio Hart, trombonist Jim Pugh, and clarinetist/tenor saxophonist Rick Van Matre -- and several of them are given room by Kunzel to take solos as they would on a jazz big band record. Other keys -- probably the keys -- are the hot rhythm sections, be it the Manhattan Transfer's own or the uncredited Pops combo, both of which manage to lift the elephantine symphony orchestra off the ground without the strings getting in the way. For their part, the Transfer reprise four tunes from their then most recent albums Swing and The Spirit of St. Louis; "Choo Choo Ch'Boogie" sounds a bit offhand and breathless, but the others ("Sugar," "Skyliner" "Clouds") are up to their tightly-focused standards. Pizzarelli is his affable, loose, retro-vocal self on two songs, "Straighten Up and Fly Right" and "Avalon" -- and he gets plenty of space to stretch out and burn on guitar. With the single exception of Siegel's only solo piece, "I'll Be Seeing You," the album scrupulously avoids sentiment and zeroes in on what its title promises -- plenty of swing, and sometimes at surprisingly great length ("Blues in the Night" clocks in at just under ten minutes). Whether CD or SACD, the sound on Got Swing! is sumptuous. ~ Richard S. Ginell This is a Hybrid Super Audio CD playable on both regular and Super Audio CD players. Personnel: ...
