Larry Sonn(1919-2015) trumpeter and former sideman with Charlie Barnet, Hal McIntyre,Teddy Powell and other units, moved to Mexico in 1944, where he went on to leadone of the most popular bands in the country. A decade had gone by when inearly 1955 he decided to return to the American musical scene and organize anew orchestra to —in his own words— “blow some jazz and some good dance music,too.” His new band first received national exploitation via a Saturday nightexposure on NBC’s Monitor, with commentary by Al “Jazzbo” Collins.This CD it shows the development of Sonn’s American effort, from the inceptionof the band, through its development and until it had become a settled unit.The first four selections here were recorded Oct. 7, 1955, when the band hadbeen in existence for barely two months. The remaining numbers, played by acrack collection of New York freelancers, were cut at sessions between 1956 and1958. The band’s book grew but remained uncluttered, featuring loose swingingmodern arrangements by chief arranger Manny Albam, with contributions by AlCohn, Nat Pierce, and Bob Brookmeyer, and scores by Sonn himself. It was ashort-lived all-star band with a sharp collective bite, flow, and beat, with abright, handsome, brassy sound, skillful arrangements and some exceptionalsoloists—meat and drink to any big band 101.
