WEST COAST COOL
Anthony Horowitz | MONTEREY, CALIFORNIA | 08/07/2008
(5 out of 5 stars)
"If you're looking for the definitive West Coast Cool instrumental and vocal sound of the 1950's, go no further. This is it. The Gene Puerling vocal arrangements, mixed with Marty Paitch's instrumental arrangements define, while perfectly complementing one another, the idiom you seek. The Hi Lo's had a reputation for not missing a note of Puerling's sometimes complex voicings. Listen to this album, and you'll hear why. They are flawless. Paitch's choice of musicians, and notes, is a study in correct. They came to the date to create a classic, and that's what they did.
