I'm appreciating the free wifi on this aircraft, as well as the fact that I'm kinda mashed into my seat and still able to work without contorting my body. Just did a fun arrangement of some music for brass quintet and woodwind quintet for funsies, now going to turn my attention to this big band thing I’ve been meaning to do.

🧠🚐 „Astounded“ von @/branvan3000official ! Die Vocals haben eine besondere Geschichte: Wer sich beim Hören an „Move on Up“ von Curtis Mayfield erinnert fühlt, liegt genau richtig. Der Gesangspart ist unveröffentlichtes Archivmaterial, das er Bran Van zur Verfügung stellte, und „Astounded“ ist damit Mayfields letzter Song geworden.

Artistry in Bossa Nova is an album by the Stan Kenton Orchestra performing old and new compositions arranged in a bossa nova style recorded and released by Capitol Records in 1963.
The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow noted "Although one might consider this project to be an example of Kenton jumping on the bandwagon (since the bossa nova fad was at its peak at the time), the music is quite enjoyable" - Wikipedia

Walk Softy / Run Wild by Johnny Richards released in 1959
Marc Myers wrote for Jazz Wax:
"As West Coast arrangers go, Johnny Richards was spectacular. Like Bill Holman and Shorty Rogers, he had an authentic feel for the Hollywood scene and how to blend glamour with art. To stir this mood, Richards made wonderful use of French horns and piccolos, and he always threw in a touch of Latin flavor. His arrangements for Stan Kenton stand out, but his leadership albums are truly special...
...Walk Softly, Run Wild!... Recorded in May 1959, the album featured Burt Collins, Jerry Kail, John Bello and Ray Copeland (tp); Billy Byers, Jimmy Cleveland and Jim Dahl (tb); Julius Watkins (fhr); Jay McAllister (tu); Gene Quill (as); Frank Socolow (ts); Bill Slapin (bar,fl,pic); Shelly Gold (bassax); Johnny Knapp (p); Chet Amsterdam (b); Ed Shaughnessy (d); Warren Smith (perc) and Johnny Richards (arr,dir)."

Straight Down the Middle Review by Richard S. Ginell
The Sauter-Finegan Orchestra had a good run down the middle of the '50s with its erudite, light-footed expansion of the big band palette, yet by the time this album (their ninth) had been released, George Russell and Gil Evans had eclipsed the SF band in the vanguard of this brand of jazz. Yet the brightly recorded charts heard here are a testament to how consistently imaginative Eddie Sauter and Bill Finegan were to the end, deftly utilizing their trademark seasonings of xylophone and harp and powered by the potent drumming of Don Lamond. Today, this music might be crowded into the '50s lounge category - the humor in the massed kazoo-like voicings on "Sunshine Girl" and antic swing era flashbacks of "Scotch And Sauter" reinforce the point...
