When the experienced bandleader and trumpet player, DanTerry (1924-2011), settled in Los Angeles in spring 1952, he organized a16-piece band, hired some of the finest West Coast players and used one of thescene’s best new arrangers in Marty Paich. He won a successful residency at theHollywood Club Oasis and a couple of singles for a small Pasadena labelfollowed, but it proved difficult to keep the band together financially, andthey disbanded.

Undaunted, Terry assembled a swing band in 1953, workingwith a more commercially slanted book than Paich’s original, largely written byGene Roland. The band achieved a compact rather than a blasting sound on theup-tempos, and played slow dance tempos with imagination and variations incolor. The richly-textured band’s emphasis was on a full ensemble sound. “It’sthe swinginest band” said Terry. “Even the ballads swing. It has theexcitement, I think, that characterized the great band period.”

In the following years, Dan Terry continued up to earlyNineties —always with the same enthusiasm— heading ambitious big band projects.And, though not all made a lasting mark, his ability to attract the finestplayers was a tribute to the regard in which he was held. He remains one of themost underrated bandleaders of the post Big Band Era.
