Arranger: Francy Boland. These two very different jazz dates from the Atlantic vaults have been reissued by Collectables on a single disc. Both contain enjoyable late-'50s, early-'60s sessions led by Jimmy Giuffre and Francy Boland with Kenny Clarke. The Boland/Clarke album from 1962 contains six tracks of big band charts, four written by Boland and fueled throughout by the powerhouse drumming of Clarke, whose "Sonor" is a highlight. By comparison, the 1958 Giuffre trio date is sedate, with trombonist Bob Brookmeyer and guitarist Jim Hall on the Giuffre-penned "Western Suite" (in four movements!), "Topsy," and Thelonious Monk's "Blue Monk." While being a bit unclear as to the haphazard way these two sessions ended up reissued on the same disc, both albums stand on their own individual merits and are welcome reissues. ~ Al Campbell Producer: Nesuhi Ertegun; Gigi Campi Engineer: Heinz Kubicka; Wolfgang Hirschmann Musical Guests Bob Brookmeyer Jim Hall   Compilation Appearances Jazz Is Universal/After The Me Vol. 13-Swiss Radio Days Savoy At 60 Cafe Jazz   Associated Artists and Works Boland, Francy Boland, Francy Francy Boland Big Band Getz, Stan Graves, Milford Swiss Radio Days Jazz Series Vol. 13: 1949 Lausann ~ Hawkins, Coleman Scott, Rhoda Telefunken Blues Telefunken Blues   Technical Info Release Date : 03/14/2006 Original Release Date : 2000 Catalog ID : 6611 Label : Collectables Records Number of Discs : 1 Studio/Live : Studio Mono/Stereo : Stereo SPAR Code : n/a UPC : 00090431661123    Product Image
