Not yet 30 and dubbed Hollywood’s “wonder-boy of music” when he recorded these sessions, Buddy Bregman had already amassed an incredible list of radio, television and motion picture credits, and had done backgrounds for everybody from Ella to Bing Crosby.
In 1959, he had a show every Sunday on NBC titled “Buddy Bregman’s Music Shop,” where he appeared leading the powerful dance band with which he recorded the album “Swingin’ Standards.” The band featured the best of front rank Hollywood musicians, with fine soloing from brass and reeds and an excellent rhythm section authoritatively driven by Mel Lewis and the tasteful beat of guitarist Jim Hall. That same year, Buddy assembled a reduced version of his band to accompany Annie Ross—one of the most versatile, brilliant and the swingingnest female jazz singer of the moment—to record an album dedicated to the Broadway show “Gypsy,” with music composed by Buddy’s uncle Jule Styne, and lyrics written by Stephen Sondheim. Miss Ross has never been more hip, sultry and just plain enjoyable. Listening to the ripe, full sound the band gets suggests awesome power carefully under control.
This is the flamboyant swing of Buddy Bregman’s band.
