Synopsis

Album Description

Don Fagerquist (1927-1974) might be one of the most underrated jazz trumpets in history despite countless recordings with Gene Krupa, Artie Shaw, Woody Herman, Les Brown and Dave Pelf. Although he was a Hollywood studio musician since 1956, over the years Don Fagerquist maintained his contact with the jazz scene, as these tracks can prove. He had a unique sound and phrasing that immediately identified him, allowing us at once to appreciate Don's playing. This CD is more than a collection of mood music and jazz tUnes: it is a delightful, warm and descriptive musical portrait of a great jazz artist. Multiwaves. 2006

CD Reviews

Great CD

Joe Vee | Florida | 03/13/2007

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Everything on this CD is wonderful. Don Fagerquist is one of the best Trumpet players to emerge from the flock that was playing the West Coast Cool School. Anything Don Fagerquist solo's on is going to be a good buy. Since he is listed as the leader for this session, he gets plenty of playing time. There is one annoying thing about this CD. On the tune Aren't You Glad You Are Here, there is a repulsive and repeating ensemble figure before the solos and after the solos. It makes this tune almost unlistenable. Just my opinion. If you like it that's fine. Joe Vavruska, Daytona Beach"
