In fact, he is Bellino Ramaglia and, outside this LP, I know only another one with mostly movie themes of the early 60's like Dr No.Gerard Herzhafthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02847006282160108348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-661655599191402760.post-32752083942762679132013-01-01T17:25:49.744+00:002013-01-01T17:25:49.744+00:00I thought this was an interesting record. Not only...I thought this was an interesting record. Not only is it well played, but it provides a snapshot of what things were like for musicians of the old school as their era ground to a close. By '62 the Jump Blues era was clearly over, and mainstream jazz was on it's last legs. Many musicians from the older tradition hung on in the early '60s by releasing 'Twist" records. By infusing their sax-based music with some of the straight-8th-note rhythms and energy of the then-current Surf Instrumental craze, they managed to stay relevant for a final year or two. By '64, when the Beatles wave broke, this tactic no longer worked, and the older musicians became passe. Big Jay McNeely became a minister (!) to ride out the jump-unfriendly '60s and '70s. George Auld was best-known for his long-ago stint with Benny Goodman. I can only imagine what he was thinking during this session... "Oh man- the things I have to do to make a buck nowadays"... Nonetheless, this is good music, and a number of Twist records make fine listening for Be Bop Wino fans. I'd especially like to refer readers to the Joe Houston twist record featured by the blog some time back...The Masked OneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-661655599191402760.post-58539687404364224412012-12-31T22:20:23.193+00:002012-12-31T22:20:23.193+00:00MM - great to hear from you!
