Herb Geller
PLAYSELECTIONS FROM JULE STYNE & STEPHEN SONDHEIM'S MUSIC FOR GYPSY
Personnel:
Herb Geller (as), Thad Jones (tp), Hank Jones, Billy Taylor(p), Scott LaFaro (b), Elvin Jones (d), Barbara Long (vcl)
Reference: FSRCD1644
With these sides, Herb Geller and his All-Stars set down oneof the best jazz versions of Jule Stynes score from the Broadway musical Gypsy.
Gellers brilliant improvisational ability is put to the testin some of the numbers, there are also outstanding contributions from ThadJones and a young Scott LaFaro on bass, while in four of the tunes BarbaraLongs beautiful voice and deep feeling for jazz give Sondheims lyrics theattention they deserve. And Herb Gellers arrangements carry off the difficultfeat of not only reflecting the emotional essence of the original show, butalso creating the climate where good jazz can flourish.
