Pro Reviews: West Coast Jazz in Hi Fi

  • All Music Guide

    Originally recorded for The Hi Fi label, this CD reissue features tenor-saxophonist Richie Kamuca as the main soloist on a variety of standards and basic material arranged by Bill Holman who plays baritone with the octet. Also heard from are trumpeters Conte Candoli and Ed Leddy, trombonist Frank Rosolino, pianist Vince Guaraldi, bassist Monty Budwig and drummer Stan Levey. The music, although based on the West Coast, is not as cool-toned or as laidback as one might expect. Highpoints of the consistently swinging session include "Blue Jazz" (a Kamuca blues), "Star Eyes," "Linger Awhile" and "Indiana."

Kamuca was a soloist with the orchestras of Stan Kenton (19521953) and Woody Herman (19541956), and then worked steadily on ... Read more
