This is the kind of sound I LOVE. When I think of 30's music, this is the the sound I mean. Muted trumpets. Strings. Everything swung. I love that that the orchestra is billed as "The Martin Beck Orchestra"- as if Martin Beck was the bandleader? Still, I like knowing it's the house orchestra that's playing on the recording.
Vernon Duke really knew how to write some good, rich music. Why are there four orchestrators listed??
Nice sample of this show, although not a full cast recording. Still. I wish we had more Vernon Duke.
