At last a great work about Russell Garcia, one of the mosttalented and respected arranger-conductors of the West Coast modern jazz sceneof the Fifties.

Here are Russell Garcia and his men. He as surroundedhimself, as always, with some of the best Hollywood musicians. The first twelverecordings on this CD are built around two focal points; the arranging andcomposing talents of Garcia, and the individual soloing abilities of DonFagerquist on trumpet, Herb Geller on alto sax, John T. Williams at the piano,Red Norvos vibes, Howard Roberts guitar and trombonist Murray McEachern.Besides these featured soloists, Jack Costanzo, Maynard Ferguson, Curtis Counceand Max Bennett. The band as a unit sounds very well rehearsed and full ofspirit and precision.

The last five tunes, all composed by Garcia, are played by abig and utterly all-star band. Each performance provides an exciting frameworkfor almost all the featured soloists: Art Pepper, Bud Shank, Don Fagerquist,Frank Rosolino, Ted Nash, Milt Bernhart and Gerald Wiggins.

These 1956 recordings are brilliant examples of RussellGarcias jazz band orchestration. Wonderful music and impressive writingperformed by some of the greatest jazzmen in the southern California at thetime.
