Synopsis

Product Description
In 1956, Patti Page, just 30, was at the top of her fame. She had already collected nine gold records for million-selling popular singles, and she was the star of the The Big Record, one of the very few straight musical TV shows on the air. With these recordings with Pete Rugolo she made a radical departure into jazz singing. Rugolo was one of the most skilled and adventurous arrangers of modern sounds in jazz, well known for his long and remarkable association with Stan Kenton s progressive band. He assembled two different settings for these sessions. On most sides he used a large orchestra, studded with such soloists as Bob Cooper, Bud Shank, Georgie Auld, and Pete Candoli. On others he worked with smaller groups, replete with some fine solos by Don Fagerquist, Paul Horn, Larry Bunker or Fred Katz. Throughout, Rugolo provided the perfect colorful, vivid orchestrations that make these Patti Page performances among the most outstanding of her career.
 

CD Reviews

Page shows her versitality in the Album
Rene E. Paquette | 07/06/2009
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Patti Page proved in this album, and in the 2 albums EAST SIDE/WEST SIDE, that she indeed can sing any type of song, including JAZZ. Over 50 yesrs since the release of this album, it is now considered a CLASSIC and worth the buy. You won't be disappointed."
