Lockhart's Debut Recording with the Boston Pops.......2004-08-13
"Runnin' Wild" will get you "In the Mood" for Big Band tunes.......2003-11-08
1996's Runnin' Wild is a collection of songs made famous by Big Band era orchestra leader Glenn Miller, whose civilian and later Army Air Force bands provided audiences with music to dance to (and love to) before and during World War II. Before his mysterious death in December 1944, Miller's band and featured vocalists gave the world such beloved swing standards as "In The Mood," "Chattanooga Choo-Choo," "A String of Pearls," and his signature theme, "Moonlight Serenade."
Listen to this album, close your eyes, and the Boston Pops Orchestra transports you back to the 1940s, with young men in uniform dancing with either their wives, sweethearts, or USO girls to the fast-paced "Runnin' Wild"...gently swaying the sweet "A String of Pearls" (featured in the film The Glenn Miller Story)...or sharing that last sweet bit of lovemaking to the slow beat of "Moonlight Serenade."
Of the 16 selections, "Moonlight Serenade" is the one I am most familiar with, having heard it as incidental music or "source" material in so many World War II movies or documentaries. It's slow, gentle, romantic yet sensual, and it's the only "Glenn Miller" song actually written by the bandleader. Originally titled "Now I Lay Me Down to Weep," it was a big hit in 1939 and was the theme song for both Miller's and Tex Beneke's bands. The Pops' performance of it captures its air of nostalgia perfectly, and the clarinet solo by Thomas Martin is simply fabulous.
Modern standards singer John Pizzarelli and The King's Singers show their stuff on several tracks, most vividly so in "Chattanooga Choo-Choo," which was another chart-topping hit for Miller in 1941, the year the U.S. entered World War II. Pizzarelli has a way of channeling the great vocalists of the era, with his easy-to-listen voice and flawless delivery. The King's Singers are wonderful backup in other songs, including "Serenade in Blue" and "(I've Got a Gal in) Kalamazoo."
As a soloist, Pizzarelli shines in the more romantic (and slower) "The Nearness of You," a song that might have been on a serviceman's mind when reading a letter from his wife or girlfriend.
Another sentimental favorite where Pizzarelli performs well is 1940's "A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square," a song introduced in Britain and popularized not only by Glenn Miller but also Guy Lombardo and Sammy Kay.
Several genres also get the Glenn Miller treatment, such as opera (Verdi's "The Anvil Chorus," from Il Trovatore), vaudeville ("My Blue Heaven") blues ("The St. Louis Blues March") and even Russian traditional songs ("Volga Boatmen").
So if you want to get "In the Mood" and have a good time listening to a fun Boston Pops Orchestra album, Runnin' Wild is definitely worth getting.
Great fun!.......2000-11-02
Okay, but lose the cover.......2000-05-31
What happens with much of what the Pops attempt here is goofy. The cover art, is I presume, similar to the old Arthur Fiedler covers where he wore a funny coat or hat and tried to look less symphonic and more silly. Give it up.
The strength of the Pops is the traditional, predictable format and arrangements that are as easy to identify as your own child. That too is the unfortunate part of the Pops. There needs to be a little something new here.
So if you enjoy the traditional string arrangements and percussion of the Pops this will not disappoint you. If you are trying to get a youngster excited about this music you might more easily find an elevator and listen to the musak.
Classical arrangements, novelty music and patriotic songs are the best the Pops can provide. The swing music just doesn't do it for me.
Runnin' wild? Maybe with a walker.
Swing at its best!.......2000-01-08

Product Description
Jeremy Nicholas writes: Phrases that chill the heart: I want a volunteer from the audience. Is this your car, sir? Have we shown you our holiday snaps? Or how about Tonights lecture is on the art of writing comedy. Go to that seminar and one thing you know for sure in advance is that you are consigning yourself to an evening devoid of any humor. Dissecting comedy, analyzing jokes or, in this case, comic songs, has all the allure of pulling off the wings of a butterfly to see how it flies. Setting off writing a comic song is rather like being your own crossword compiler, designing the grid, filling in all the squares, setting your own clues. No, its not, really. Its more like taking a pile of kids building bricks and making a spectacular skyscraper from them. No, thats not it either. But there are elements of both that are pertinent (a good word for seminars). In other words, comedy (and comic songwriting) is hard work. Think of the last time you told a joke and it didnt come off. The material was right but maybe the delivery was off. But remember the joy when the response was perfect: not only did they laugh, but you sensed the anticipation: this is going to be funny. And for this album, the anticipation certainly pays off. Anyone who grew up in the 1950s and 1960s will recall the wonderful humor of the works of Tom Lehrer, the classic HMV (Angel in this country) LPs of Michael Flanders and Donald Swann. More recently weve seen how Stephen Sondheim and William Bolcom can easily move back and forth between the serious and the humorous. And just to prove that comedy can be serious business, we have the participation of Marc-Andre Hamelin, one of the most highly regarded concert and recital pianists as accompanist and composer, joined by his wife Jody Karin Applebaum. Her resume includes performances of Bachs Christmas Oratorio and St. Matthew Passion, Handels Messiah, to contemporary works by Stephen Albert, Heitor Villa-Lobos and Gorecki. Together they have performed in New York, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., Canada, England and the Middle East. Together they have recorded music of Britten, Schoenberg, Bolcom, Wolpe, Weill, Satie and Poulenc. Here both they and you have some fun for a change!Customer Reviews:

Customer Reviews:
If Segovia Played Jazz.......2006-04-15
This is Joe Pass solo, and it is simply jaw dropping. If you are an avid jazz listener, you will be amazed and delighted. If like me, you try to play jazz guitar yourself, you will be stupified.
Yes, the brilliant, flawless technique is here, but it isn't showy or forced. The tracks were recorded in 1988, late in Pass's career, and his restraint, taste and maturity reflect it.
The tune selection is a delight. Who could argue with any of them? And Joe's chord voicings, harmonic choices and rhythmic scamperings bring out the playful best in each. They are all played in the chord/melody style that I think no one does better than Joe Pass.
Fun for everyone and an eat-your-heart-out must for all guitar players.
A tremendous tribute and an amazing album.......2003-09-05
Fred Astaire is in awe of this elegant, understated tribute.......2002-03-02
Joe's earliest solo work often contained frenetic pacing and relied almost too heavily on numerous flights of fancy and note-crammed tangents shoved randomly into the song structures, particularly on the first of the "Virtuoso" discs.
On "Blues for Fred", and older, wiser and much more calm Joe Pass is evident. He had aged well to this point in his career; his choices in this set of standards reflects time and again the wisdom of letting fewer notes tell the story, of allowing the melody to shine through without heavy embellishment, of pacing the entire set at more of a trot than a sprint.
There is no question that Joe's virtuosity and mastery of his instrument is still evident. This is not as abrasive sounding as the first Virtuoso disc, but Joe still manages to display jaw-dropping inventiveness and prowess in how he negotiates keeping up with the simultaneous rhythm and lead guitar chores throughout. There is an overall mellow vibe to this set that makes it quite appropriate for accompanyment to a fine meal or time by the fire late at night, but this is not exactly easy listening music, either.
Anyone with a deep appreciation of fine songcraft performed and interpreted with excellence in a solo guitar setting is strongly encouraged to add this essential disc to their collection. You'd have to be a stone-hearted, tin-eared geek not to recognize the fine artistry and amazing depth of the performances on this disc. The world is a poorer place with both Fred's and Joe's departure from it. Someone needs to do a "Blues for Joe" disc to pay tribute the rich legacy of this underappreciated guitar master.
