Boyd Raeburn and his Orchestra (1944-46) Instrumentals never before on record
Vinyl LP.
Mycket gott skick. LP, First Time Records FTR-1515 (1944 / 0000). Saxofonisten Boyd Reaeburn ledde under några år på 1940-talet ett storband som spelade avancerade arrangemang med stark bebop-prägel, men också med influenser från modern konstmusik. På denna utgåva med radiotranskriptioner är inspelningarna på sid A från 1944 och på sid B från 1946. Musiker som Dizzy Gillespie, Benny Harris, Trummy Young, Earl Swope, Frank Socolow, Serge Chaloff, Oscar Pettiford, Shelly Manne, Ray Linn, Britt Woodman, Lucky Thompson, Dodo Marmarosa, Joe Mondragon m fl passerar genom bandet. "...The second side of the out-of-print LP....is actually from 1946 and finds the band much more advanced.With trumpeter Ray Linn, trombonist Ollie Wilson, tenor saxophonist Lucky Thompson and pianist Dodo Marmarosa all heard from, the Raeburn ensemble mostly performs material not recorded by the band commercially, including "High Tide," "Cartaphilius" and a "Concerto for Duke" medley of four Ellington songs. Not as essential as the Boyd Raeburn Orchestra's more outlandish George Handy and Johnny Richards charts, this is nevertheless an interesting program from a unique, short-lived band."
