Product description

At the beginning of the 1960s Gary McFarland was the darling of the jazz community. A songwriter, arranger, producer, bandleader and vibes player, he had worked with the cream of the crop including Bill Evans, Stan Getz, Gerry Mulligan, the MJQ and Anita O'Day. Imagine the shock, then, when these vocalese takes of pop numbers showed up in the mid-60s. Unfortunately, the purists blotted out just how innovative and appealing the music really was. Over the last half century these records have developed considerable respect and a sizeable cult following. Produced by Creed Taylor for the Verve label, these albums featured top musicians including Antonio Carlos Jobim, Kenny Burrell, Bob Brookmeyer and Gabor Szabo. McFarland was also one of the first serious musicians to recognise the talents of Lennon and McCartney, with four Beatles covers on Soft Samba and the Stones' Satisfaction on The In Sound . His mysterious and shocking death in a Greenwich Village bar in 1971, at the age of 38, only served to increase the mystique surrounding this true jazz pioneer. Notes and rare photographs are provided by Douglas Payne, a long-time champion of McFarland's music. Stereolab fans will be familiar with this release as the band borrowed both the cover and the title for their 1999 7 EP.

    5.0 out of 5 stars "In sound" et "Soft samba" réunis !
    Reviewed in France on 21 May 2024

    Cette réunion des deux albums Verve de 1964 et 65 est un excellent moyen de découvrir ce vibraphoniste et arrangeur attachant parti dramatiquement.
    Le disque non seulement se laisse écouter très agréablement pour qui est susceptible d'aimer une musique jazzy et latino easy listening des années 60's, mais il permet également d'y découvrir certaines reprises étonnamment réarrangées de morceaux pop connus, avec Gabor Szabo et Kenny Burrell entre autres à la guitare.
    La quasi intégralité des albums de Gary McFarland figure dans ma discothèque mais si cette réissue était destinée avant tout à offrir à un passionné débutant avec le musicien je n'ai pas manqué de me réserver également un exemplaire en complément des deux disques individuels correspondants.

    Gary Mc Garland had his own style of jazz . The style he used was called Verbing . Also the record label was named Verve Records . He took popular tunes and jazzed them up . He was just ahead of his time .

    For some musicians and composers, I'm a collector rather than a more casual music fan. I bought this to complete my collection of Gary McFarland CDs. This music is not adventurous, but it is good background music. Like I said - more for collectors than others.
