All of trumpeter/arranger Shorty Rogers' recordings from the 1950s (which were quite influential on both arrangers and cool-toned soloists) are well worth searching for. Unfortunately, many are out of print, including half of this excellent LP; the second side has been reissued on the Bluebird CD Swings. On the first side, Rogers and his Orchestra (which includes such fine soloists as Jimmy Giuffre on clarinet and tenor, valve trombonist Bob Enevoldsen, altoists Bud Shank and Herb Geller, guitarist Barney Kessel and pianist Pete Jolly) perform five familiar songs from Oz, plus "The Jitterbug," which did not make it into the final cut. This date is rounded out by fresh versions of five of Arlen's most famous songs, including "Get Happy," "Blues In the Night" and "That Old Black Magic." Wonderful music. Tracklist: 1.01 - Shorty Rogers - We're Off To See The Wizard - (from the MGM picture "The Wizard Of Oz") (1:20) 1.02 - Shorty Rogers - Over The Rainbow - (from the MGM picture "The Wizard Of Oz") (3:01) 1.03 - Shorty Rogers - The Jitterbug - (from the MGM picture "The Wizard Of Oz") (3:17) 1.04 - Shorty Rogers - The Merry Old Land Of Oz - (from the MGM picture "The Wizard Of Oz") (5:35) 1.05 - Shorty Rogers - If I Only Had A Brain - (from the MGM picture "The Wizard Of Oz") (3:28) 1.06 - Shorty Rogers - Ding Dong! The Witch Is Dead - (from the MGM picture "The Wizard Of Oz") (3:32) 1.07 - Shorty Rogers - My Shining Hour (3:36) 1.08 - Shorty Rogers - Get Happy (2:44) 1.09 - Shorty Rogers - Blues In The Night (5:48) 1.10 - Shorty Rogers - Let's Fall In Love (3:17) 1.11 - Shorty Rogers - That Old Black Magic (5:25)
