nancy wilson + gerald wilson's orch

[chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez]

is this an essential add-on to the mosaic? saw it in the .99 cent bin

[jtaylor]

I would say no. It's a good album and features a few nice moments for Carmell Jones and Harold Land, but that's about it. More Nancy than Gerald.

But for $.99, why not?

GW was pretty good at writing orchestral accompaniments for vocalists. He did some superb backings for Sam Cooke in about '63 - including a great blues - "Cool train" - and probably the A side, "Frankie & Johnny". Wish I still had that single.

Oh, and I had a Julie London album - "Feeling good" I think, with his arrangements.

A couple for Brother Ray as well, right?

I'd forgotten, but you're right. "You are my sunshine" I think was one of them. Was "Don't set me free" another?

I am not a 100% on but I can dig through my records when I get a chance to check.

and he arranged 5 songs on Little Jimmy Scott's "Falling in love is wonderful' LP

[BFrank]

Some very solid charts by GW on Johnny Hartman's "Unforgettable".

[chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez]
