Synopsis

Album Description
This CD brings together two interesting, rare and long out of print LPs by composer/arranger Pete Rugolo from a period in which he alternated his arranging work for Stan Kenton (with whom he began collaborating in 1945), with his own personal projects. These two albums are an example of the latter. TV Top Themes presents interesting arrangements of famous TV themes taken from several series of the sixties. Behind Brigitte Bardot includes the music of some of the most famous films featuring Brigitte Bardot. Rugolo reunited for this project a true all-star orchestra featuring some of the most outstanding jazz figures from the West Coast, including Pete Candoli, Jack Sheldon, Frank Rosolino, Bud Shank, Paul Horn, Buddy Collette, Larry Bunker, Buddy Clark, Mel Lewis and Joe Mondragon. Gambit. 2006

FINALLY on CD!
Elwood Conway | Frankfort, KY United States | 08/01/2006
(5 out of 5 stars)

"here are two of Pete's hard to find LPs released on a single CD. While the Bardot gatefold cover would have made a better cover for this release, it is included inside the insert. The recordings are been faithfully produced from original tapes and NOT vinyl (YAY). For being over 40 years old, they sound fabulous. This may not be the swingingest set of recordings by Pete, but they are flawlessly executed, thanks to a bevy of LA's finest studio jazz heavies. If you like Pete's arrangements and musical ideas, then you can't go wrong with this CD."
