Shorty Rogers was instrumental in the creation of West Coast Jazz. This number is one of his experimental jazz works from 1953. A bit out there for my tastes, but historically significant. Enjoy!
This recording is a disc jockey promo pressing and plays very well.

The Westrex cutting lathe was a little out of balance.

@JAZZOLOGIST1 Hello there....I am a big Shorty Rogers fan and he definitely influenced my playing.I learned jazz playing his arrangements for a 7 piece group.Loved them all.
I do have to add though that John Grass was overrated.

I bought this "Cool and Crazy" Album by Shorty Rogers in 1954 and it was my intro to modern Jazz. Then I grew to appreciate Mulligan, Baker, Brubeck, Miles, the MJQ etc and all West Coast Jazz. So many and so good.

I love this. Suits my temperament.

yes its no peter brotzman but i hear shades of sun ras early work n cmon guys, his 1st album was 1956, we werent as musically advanced when shorty did this n ra did big band, really, at first, but it was already outward bound. thx for shorty, great stuff
-
cool piece. and a particularly nice bit of video editing to transition from the static label onto the spinning platter.
thanks
amazing how they could get away with such off center spindle hole pressings, though

That's John Graas on (french) horn - a pioneer on jazz horn

I had this record in the 50's played it over and over...wore it out! Rogers and Kenton were great musicians.

Reading these comments I see that there are no real Rogers fans here. He was a great influence on modern jazz. In actual fact, an extension of Kenton. He had an intrinsic sadness in his playing and arranging that seems to go right over the head of so called 'jazz fans'.

The collection this record came from was amazing in it's depth. Many of the folks in this group were unknown to me but the fellow I acquired the collection from was very knowledgeable. This music is well beyond my ability to truly appreciate it's nuances, but I like it.
