4.0 out of 5 stars A Swingin' 50's Big Band Session, December 17, 2000

By 

William Faust (Columbus, Ohio) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Plays Gerry Mulligan Arrangements (Audio CD)

If you like the kind of big band orchestration that grew out of the 1950's west coast jazz scene - like the arrangements by Bill Holman, Marty Paich, Pete Rugolo etc. - then I think you'll like this disc. Lawrence's band is essentially a first rate studio ensemble that works through a book of arrangements by Gerry Mulligan. 12 charts in all including a few Mulligan originals and a few standards. Not the best of the genre, but certainly worth the price of admission.
