Description: Manny Albam - Bill Russo - Teo Macero - Teddy CharlesSOMETHING NEW, SOMETHING BLUE + SWINGING 'GUYS & DOLLS' (2 LP ON 1 CD) Personnel: Art Farmer, Donald Byrd (tp), Frank Rehak, Bob Brookmeyer (tb), Phil Woods (as), Al Cohn, Frank Socolow (ts), Bill Evans, Eddie Costa, Dave McKenna (p), Teddy Charles (vib), George Duvivier, Aaron Bell (b), Ed Shagnessy (d) Reference: FSRCD 539 Teo Macero was the A&R who conceived the two albums on this CD. SOMETHING NEW, SOMETHING BLUE was designed to demonstrate the talents of four young composer-arrangersManny Albam, Teddy Charles, Bill Russo, and Macero himselfworking in that still undefined area of modern music in which jazz meets the more traditional concert forms. Each one was commissioned to write an original composition and a new arrangement of a blues or a blues-oriented standard, and to make both blue in feeling. The blues provides an effective bridge from the most primitive neo-jazz to the most adventurous, an instant connection between the musics many schools. Maceros playing is another example of his versatility. On the swing version of Frank Loessers score for GUYS AND DOLLS, he plays tenor on three of the tunes, and contributed to the arrangements along with Teddy Charles. Apart from the arrangers, both albums benefit greatly from the presence of some of New Yorks finest jazz soloist. Tracklisting:01. Night Crawlers (Albam) (4:12) 02.
