Teasing the Korean Posted December 4, 2021 Report Share Posted December 4, 2021 (edited) This LP of themes from Brigitte Bardot films, arranged by Pete Rugolo, inhabits a nice space between cool jazz and 1950s mood music. Strangely, I cannot find it on the InterTubes. It features Rugolo's trademark ensemble writing especially combinations of instruments at extreme ranges, such as the tuba and piccolo, playing together. I can imagine my Dad listening to this album in the evening, wearing a cardigan, smoking his pipe, and drinking bourbon, but I can also imagine my Mom listening to this album in the afternoon, wearing capris, flats, and a sweater, not unlike something that Mary Tyler Moore would have worn on The Dick Van Dyke Show, sipping an iced tea and leafing through Life Magazine. It has been reissued on CD Rhino/WB in the US, and it must be on some grey market releases by now also.
