Title: Very, very nice
Product review: A long time ago I picked up a Gary McFarland sheet music book at a tag sale. Since that day I've really enjoyed playing his rich and surprising compositions. Some of his recordings, on the other hand, left me cold, especially that dang humming thing he did on so many LPs.Masters has chosen some of McFarland's nicest tunes and addressed them with a highly competent ensemble. The orchestrations are really nice as are the solos, Smulyan in particular. I do feel the record (at north of 80 minutes) could be shorter, however. I found it a lot to try to absorb.
