Album Notes Personnel
includes: Rosemary Clooney, Earl Brown, Jack Sheldon (vocals); Tommy
Newsom (tenor saxophone, flute, clarinet); Nino Tempo (tenor saxophone);
George Graham (trumpet, flugelhorn); John Oddo (piano); Steve Lukather,
Tim May (guitar); Chuck Berghofer (bass); Jeff Hamilton
(drums).Recorded at Group IV Recording Studios, Hollywood, California on
November 22 & 23, 1993. Includes liner notes by Nick Clooney.On
this CD, Rosemary Clooney broke away from using a jazz combo with Scott
Hamilton and instead is accompanied by a big band mostly arranged and
conducted by her musical director, pianist John Oddo. The 15 songs
frequently have something to do with being on the road or the
significance of particular locations, including such songs as "On the
Road Again," "How Are Things in Glocca Morra?," Cole Porter's "Take Me
Back to Manhattan," and Dave Frishberg's "Let's Eat Home." Among the
highlights are a surprisingly touching version of "(Back Home Again In)
Indiana," the witty "Let's Get Away from It All," Willard Robison's
obscure "Moonlight Mississippi," and a delightful version of "Road to
Morocco," on which Clooney sings with Jack Sheldon. Most selections
feature one or two solos from the horn section, including the
beautiful-toned trombonist Chauncey Welsh; trumpeter Warren Luening; and
either Tommy Newsom, Nino Tempo, or Bob Tricarico on tenor. Rosemary
Clooney's voice still had 95 percent of its power on this easily
recommended set. ~ Scott Yanow
