Revisitedversions arranged and conducted by Jim Timmens
Four orchestral albums featuring great jazz soloists
This CD release presents four albums excellently conceived and orchestrated byconductor-arranger Jim Timmens. The pieces here have survived countlessversions through the years, but were blessed this time by different,intelligent planning and the warm wit of several highly gifted jazzmencontributing some arrestingly eloquent improvisations.The first CD is dedicated to the enduring Gershwin opera 'Porgy and Bess' andthe Jerome Kern musical comedy hit 'Showboat'. The second CD puts the comicoperas of 'Gilbert & Sullivan' in a jazz context, and the later'Hallelujah!' does the same to a dozen spirituals. The rich and polished colorsused by Timmens produced a gorgeous set of performances with brilliant sound andrhythmic strength, to reveal a worthwhile jazz 101. It Ain’t Necessarily So 3:58
