4.0 out of 5 stars I found A Ted Heath CD., March 1, 2006

This review is from: Very Best of (Audio CD)

The Ted Heath orchestra is the kind of music from my childhood- years when music still was a manifestation of elegancy, beauty and handmade work. Anyway, "easy listening" is a dubious concept, it pretends to define commercial, forgettable music and artists that create with orchestras a style of an age - like Bert Kaempfert, Jackie Gleason, Burt Bacharah, Herb Alpert and many others (from the 50's to the 80's aprox.). Ted Heath is an artist. He has a complete vision: percussion, melody, latin taste of inspiration, great arrange, good choice of themes, even an aggressive and objective approach with any kind of melody. It`s a nostalgic pleasure in all senses.

I am sure that this CD is best of Ted. Probably re-union session after Ted died. But the performance is not changed due to traditional member's participation.

Most Big Band fans are familiar with the Ted Heath band(s). This CD probaly lives up to its title. Super-crisp section work and fine soloists.
Recommend it highly!
