Ralph Burns and His Orchestra PERPETUAL MOTION

Description: Ralph Burns and His OrchestraPERPETUAL MOTION Personnel: Roy Eldridge, Bill Harris, Hal McKusick, Al Cohn, Flip Phillips, Oscar Peterson, Ray Brown, Louis Bellson, Joe Newman, Dave Schildkraut, Billy Byers, Herbie Mann, Milt Hinton Reference: FSRCD 2216 Ralph Burns (1922-2001) was a polyvalent arranger and musician. Although his chief claim to fame was his association as an arranger pianist ventures. He could write and conduct a background for a popular singer one day, work on the score for a musical show the next, and lead an all-star jazz orchestra on a third.On the first half of this CD we find the rare LP "Ralph Burns among the JATPs". According to Norman Granz "Ralph tried to capture the personality of the JATPs with his pen and baton. I think he succeeded," and we agree. As for the ten-piece band heard on the second half of this compilation, which was originally issued as an LP with the title "Jazz Studio 5", the results, while reflecting Burns' firm roots in jazz, display to full advantage the skill and flexibility of his creative orchestral ideas.
