5-CD SET
GOLDEN VOCAL JAZZ TREASURES UNEARTHED BY MOSAIC
While no one who has heard her can deny the charm and vocal talents of Rosemary Clooney, the truth is she usually recorded with big orchestras which favored commercial arrangements. Also the songs selected for her sessions frequently included more novelties or hits of the day than what he can consider properly jazz tunes.
This new Mosaic box, on the other hand, showcases her doing a radio show with the only backing of a jazz quartet, formed by Buddy Cole on piano, Vince Terri on guitar, Don Whitaker on bass, and Nick Fatool on drums. Also, for these shows, she was allowed to freely choose her program, and the results are amazing, five full CDs of Clooney doing the standards she loved with no restriction. An unexpected treasure of vocal jazz.
PERSONNEL ON ALL SESSION:
BUDDY COLE, piano, organm celeste, harpsichord
VINCE TERRI, guitar
DON WHITAKER, bass
NICK FATOOL, drums, percussion
