A rare find from one of Tommy Dorsey's most outstanding band members: Sy Oliver composer, arranger, trumpet soloist, vocalist! One of the greatest big band arrangers, Sy (a youthful nickname for psychologist) Oliver transforms some familiar standards into a freewheeling swing idiom, stamped with assurance and outstanding musicianship. Oliver's writing made use of many simple, swinging effects, frequent staccato phrases that often had a touch of humor, and a brilliant sense of continuity and climax.
The high calibre of his arrangements allowed musical ideas to flow quickly the band literally radiates rhythmic and harmonic daring and imagination. From the PT Music SESAC radio transcription original master tapes, this Jazz Showcase release features 66 minutes of never-before released recordings.
