Twofer: Tracks #1-12 from the Capitol 12" album "The Big Small Bands" (ST 1309). Track #13-23 from the Capitol 12" album "I Remember John Kirby" (ST 1687). Dave Pell (ts, bs), Jack Sheldon, Don Fagerquist (tp), Bob Enevoldsen (v-tb), Abe Most (cl), Art Pepper (as), Ronny Lang (bs), Marty Paich, André Previn, John T. Williams (p), Bob Gibbons (g), Red Mitchell (b), Frank Capp, Shelly Manne (d).
In these two albums, Dave Pell presents swinging memories of the bands small in size, but grand in stature that traced the history of the jazz combo and accounted for some of the greatest hit recordings of their times.
In The Big Small Bands, we can enjoy exciting and authentic re-creations of tunes made famous by groups such as those of John Kirby, Artie Shaw, Lester Young, Gerry Mulligan, Benny Goodman, Miles Davis, Shorty Rogers. Although the tunes start with early sounds, the sequence is varied a little to provide a more interesting programming line-up.
On I Remember John Kirby, Pell, who was a legitimately schooled clarinetist like Buster Bailey, had virtually abandoned the instrument as a solo medium until he had undertook this project. Here he plays with complete command to lead this Kirby-inspired sextet featuring Benny Carter, who gets a beautiful projection of the buoyant lilt that Russell Procope put in his alto solos.
