Marty Paich was easily one of the most respected, prolific and brilliant arrangers in postwar jazz and pop music, a master at getting a big sound out of small ensembles. So when we saw that his two late-"50s albums for Warner Bros. were not only out of print but going for triple figures online, we figured that this was a twofer that simply had to happen! Broadway Bit"s is chock-full of Marty"s imaginative takes on great show tunes, like `It"s All Right with Me"; `I"ve Grown Accustomed to Her Face"; `I"ve Never Been in Love Before"; `I Love Paris"; `Too Close for Comfort"; `Younger Than Springtime"; `If I Were a Bell"; `Lazy Afternoon", and `Just in Time". I Get a Boot Out of You, meanwhile, mixes in Ellingtonia like `It Don"t Mean a Thing"; `What Am I Here For/Cottontail"; `Warm Valley", and `Things Ain"t What They Used to Be" with `No More; Love for Sale"; `Moanin", and `Violets for Your Furs", all arranged for a 13-piece band featuring Art Pepper, Jack Sheldon, Conte Candoli, Russ Freeman and Bill Perkins among other luminaries. With new notes.
