2010 release, the fourth installment in the Giant Steps label's series of classic recordings by legendary modernists Shorty Rogers & the Giants. Assembled is the rare percussive soundtrack to Tarzan the Ape Man that featured the likes of Bud Shank, Bob Cooper, Frank Rosolino and other famed West Coasters. Said Shorty: "At first, I was slightly apprehensive when MGM approached me to write and record the soundtrack for a Tarzan movie, but I needn't have concerned myself. They just said, make it exciting with plenty of drumming, and left me alone to get on with it. So I approached it as if I was really making a new Giants album, which is what it really was. I don't want to sound discourteous, but the album we made was much better that the actual movie". Also included is an equally rare 'live' appearance by the Big Band version of the Giants from an appearance on the TV show the Stars of Jazz. Giant Steps. ~Editorial Reviews https://www.amazon.com/You-Shorty-Tarzan-Rogers-Giants/dp/B0032BVEIG
