Lyle (Spud)Murphy (1908-2005) the veteran arranger of the swing era began attractingattention in 1955 with his self-devised 12-tone scale system of composition andarranging. It was something completely different - an organized sound in afresh and new harmonic concept. To achieve this result Murphy used the uniqueinstrumentation of soprano, alto, tenor and baritone saxophones giving the fulltonal range to the section captured in his first 10 record for the Gene NormanPresents label. The musicianship of the performers is first rate. In additionto the superb section work, which features Benny Carter, the solos played byBuddy Collette, Bob Gordon are outstanding, and especially striking is FrankMorgan, who emerged here as one of the most exciting West Coast altoists. Thesecond record on which Murphy applied his musical system, was produced LesterKoenigs Contemporary, on which five woodwinds play collectively with a rhythmsection made up by Andre Previn and Shelly Manne, in a horizontal, or contrapuntal,design. On the last four selections, two trombones were added to the firstinstrumentation for additional tonal effect. The execution of the orchestralparts is flawless and the imagination and technique displayed by the soloists astill-exciting experience.

Note:

Although Benny Carter was not credited in the original10\" album, he also participated in the first two sessions. The highmusicianship demanded to play Lyle Murphy\'s scores was th reason Benny, a greatand experienced reader, was picked up to play the alto parts in the sectionwork, while a young Frank Morgan took care of the soloing.
