Let's Face The Music (aka All Smiles)

Out Of Stock

Add Item to Want List
LP (Item 13589) MPS/Prestige, 1969 — Condition: Used

A hard slammer from the Clarke-Boland Big Band – recorded when the band was burning up the road in Europe, taking great players and audiences in one fell swoop, coming up with some of the strongest straight jazz of their generation! The album features stunning solos all around by an all-star mix of American and European players that includes Benny Bailey, Johnny Griffin, Tony Coe, Dave Pike, Sahib Shihab, and Ronnie Scott – all coming together with incredibly fluidity, yet also breaking out for some massive solos on their own! Arrangements are by Boland – tight, right, and outta site – and titles include "Let's Face The Music & Dance", "High School Cadets", "By Strauss", "Gloria", "Sweet & Lovely", "Get Out Of Town", and "I'm All Smiles". US issue of the MPS album All Smiles. (Green label pressing. Cover has edge wear with a couple pieces of clear tape.)  © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc.
