Heinie Beau ⁄ Milt Bernhart • Rare and Obscure Jazz Albums Moviesville Jazz the Sound of Bernhart

 

Review from Fresh Sound Records / Rare and Obscure Jazz Albums (liner notes by Jordi Pujol):
Heinie Beau (1911-1987) was not only a fine instrumentalist on clarinet, alto sax and flute, but also one of Hollywood's finest independent arrangers, working for Tommy Dorsey, Red Nichols, Axel Stordahl, Paul Weston, Peggy Lee, and others, as well as contributing to major TV, radio and motion picture scores. "Moviesville Jazz" is mood music in the jazz idiom, with each track loaded with excellent solos by top Hollywood studio musicians, held together by Beau's compositions and orchestrations. Milt Bernhart (1926-2004) came up through the bands of Boyd Raeburn, Buddy Franklin, Jimmy James, Teddy Powell and ultimately Stan Kenton. After leaving Kenton, he devoted himself entirely to Hollywood studio work. "The Sound of Bernhart" features five different groups playing mostly standards plus two originals, with arrangements by Calvin Jackson and Fred Katz, ranging from lusty jazz blowing to trombone paired with classically scored cellos. An out-and-out tour de force offering great variety, musical interest and wonderful changes of pace.

Reseña de Fresh Sound Records / Rare and Obscure Jazz Albums (notas de Jordi Pujol):
Heinie Beau (1911-1987) era no solo un fino instrumentista en clarinete, saxo alto y flauta, sino también uno de los mejores arreglistas independientes de Hollywood, trabajando para Tommy Dorsey, Red Nichols, Axel Stordahl, Paul Weston, Peggy Lee y otros, además de contribuir a programas de televisión, radio y cine. "Moviesville Jazz" es música de ambientación en el idioma jazzístico, con cada tema repleto de excelentes solos de los mejores músicos de estudio de Hollywood, cohesionados por las composiciones y orquestaciones de Beau. Milt Bernhart (1926-2004) creció musicalmente en las bandas de Boyd Raeburn, Buddy Franklin, Jimmy James, Teddy Powell y finalmente Stan Kenton. Tras dejar a Kenton, se dedicó por completo al trabajo de estudio en Hollywood. "The Sound of Bernhart" presenta cinco grupos distintos tocando principalmente standards más dos originales, con arreglos de Calvin Jackson y Fred Katz, que van desde el jazz más vivaz hasta el trombón acompañado de violonchelos con escritura de influencia clásica. Un álbum sin concesiones que ofrece gran variedad, interés musical y maravillosos cambios de registro.
