The Gazette from Cedar Rapids, Iowa • 59

3d NEW RECORDING RELEASES The Cedar Rapids Gazette: Jan. 16, 1983 Paich exhibits extraordinary talent I If features a fine muted trumpet played by the little known Jack Sheldon with a sprinkling of the Les Zacheis Gazette music columnist Pianist-composer-arranger Marty Paich is a musician who has received only a modicum of recognition from the American, public. However, a new reissue, "Marty Paich Big Band," presents a few facets of this extraordinarily talented man. Although it was recorded in 1957, the album sounds like it was made yesterday, so modern is its music. If you place this recfrd on the turntable expecting to hear a hara-riding instrumental romp ala Goodman, Shaw or "ller, you can forget about it.

It's not that kind of music. What kind of music is it? Interestingly charted big band music embellished with tasty snatches of short, improvised bursts by some of the finer jazzmen of the day. On the LP you will hear some brilliant improvising done by advanced musical thinkers like trumpeter Pete Condoli, along with Buddy Childers, the Kenton high note wizard who always thought he was going to suffer a rupture and reportedly wore an abdominable belt. And there is the interesting Bob Enevoldsen on valve trombone and Herbie Harper on slide. Bob Cooper, the great Kenton flash, is there with his tenor.

The rhythm is supplied by composer Paich, who throws in a few additions to his charts from the keyboard. The monumental Mel Lewis appears with his drums and veteran Joe Mondragon, a classic case for self-taught musicians, brings along his bass. But what about this man Paich? Or should I say "this boy Paich" because at age 16 he was writing arrangements for West Coast orchestras. After his teen years, Paich sought more refined Paich piano. The platter starts with "From Now On," a slow and deliberate reflection with excellent alto by Herb Geller and astonishing valve trombone by Enevoldsen, who.

bestows credit on that much maligned instrument. "Walkin' On Home" is a modest bluesy bounce, while "Black Rose" is a honey. It's a slow and reflective affair with a French horn joining the brass, eventually subsiding before the onslaughts of the strato--spheric unison trumpeting of Condoli and Childers. It's one of the choicest cuts. The old barn-burner; "Tommy's Toon," is a fast rideout featuring unison brass figures, followed by scorching choruses by the "go" men.

It ends with a chaser chorus between Condoli's trumpet and Enevoldsen's valves, and eventually Cooper's tenoring. The lovely title tune obscures much of the flip slide, but interesting is "Easy Listening," a relaxed modest blues bounce again capitalizing on the valve trombone. "Martini Time" is yet another fast rocker on a theme that reminds one of "Rain," a pop tune of the '20s. "Marty Paich Big Band" is all instrumental, a real extravaganza that will wear well and get better with repeated listenings. The album is on Discovery label DS-857.

Paich's ambitions were rewarded with bachelor's and master's degrees at the Los Angeles Conservatory. From that point on, Paich's reputation at least with American musicians was assured: He composed and arranged with the best bands: Bobby Sherwood, Jerry Gray and Shelly Manne.

He also wrote the entire book for the newly organized Dan Terry band. When he wrote for and accompanied Peggy Lee, he gained great insight into the difference between instrumental and vocal music. Paich hit the movies hard and caused quite a sensation with his arranging and playing for Walt Disney's "Lady and the Tramp." With a background like that, it's a small wonder that the music you hear on this LP is scholarly, interesting and profound the kind that musicians themselves appreciate. Of the nine selections on the record, all save one are Paich originals. The sole exception is the very wonderful torchy tune, "What's New," which was selected as the title of the LP.

The musical "Annie" opened in New York on April 21, 1977, more than 50 years after the birth of the continuing comic strip, "Little Orphan Annie." The popular, curly-haired moppet immediately captured the hearts of Broadway, winning virtually every significant theater award, and has become an international hit. MILLIONS OF children of all ages around the world have been sharing Annie's adventures over the past five years as productions have sprung up in London, Scandinavia, Japan, Australia, South Africa, Venezuela, New Zealand, West Germany, the Irish Republic, the Philippines and Mexico where it is known as "Anita." On Oct. 3, 1979, "Annie" made theatrical history again as it launched the third national company in Dallas, making it the only Broadway musical to have four productions playing simultaneously in the United States. The Broadway version of "Annie" finally closed earlier this month, after its performance, which made it the seventh-longest running musical in Broadway history.
