High Noon: The Jazz Soul of Frankie Laine
Gary Smulyan
2008
Music arranged by Mark Masters
What a dandy recipe went into this curious retrieval. Take the highromantic sentimentality of post-WWII pop singer Frankie Laine (“That’s My Desire,” “Mule Train,” “We’ll Be Together Again”), slice and dice for coolly crisp “little big band” then add liberal amounts of fiery, swinging baritone sax solos. Weird. And wonderful.
