Shortly after it was formed in 1953, the Dave Pell Octet won best new combo of the year in polls conducted by America s Daily News and Mirror newspa- pers. Six of its eight members were included in Down Beat magazine s 1953 poll of the top musicians in the country. Pell and his group flipped fans every where they appeared, specializing in Proms and School Dances, and becoming the first name jazz group ever to play for dancing at one of the top Sunset Strip clubs, The Crescendo, and also the Hollywood Palladium. Its jazz was described variously as tasty, sophisticated, subtle, warm, bright, clean, friendly, inventive, happy, and a complete show and concert rolled into one. One successful Octet approach was to have the crowd gather around the bandstand to watch it play a fast jive number featuring the band s excellent soloists. An essential contributing factor in the Octet s success was that Pell hired the West Coast's finest arrangers to write the beguilingly melodic and alway attractive, danceable band charts; people of the calibre of Marty Paich, Bill Holman, Shorty Rogers, Jack Montrose, Med Flory, John T. Williams. And it was this canny combination of quality and accessibility that really made the Octet s name and gave the music its enduring flavour. In Dave's own words: "Here's hoping you enjoy our combined dance-and-jazz Campus Hop!"~ Editorial Reviews

Once again Giullia G. I am offering my thanks to you, this is a great group of west coast musicians who it seems were members of the Les Brown band, the arrangements are good and all in all a really good collection.
ReplyDeleteHey Jazzman77, I'm happy that you liked! Thank You and Mat!
ReplyDeleteAh, Giullia, you can never have too much West Coast muisic and this is a good one. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHey Newlyner, Thank You and Mat!
DeleteA bit dated, but this is a quality recording. There is two original LP on this city. 1-12 is 1956, and 13-24 is 1957. The second one is more jazz than the other tracks. It's OK music + a colorfull cover art, a real piece of nostalgia. Merci.
ReplyDeleteMerci too, Mario B!
