BOB THOMPSON HIS CHORUS AND ORCHESTRA / JUST FOR KICKS, MMM NICE!, ON THE ROCKS＋BONUS TRACKS
1960年前後にアルバムをRCA Victorからリリースしていたボブ・トンプソンによる、洒脱でゴージャスなご機嫌作3作とボーナストラックを収録した大ボリューム2枚組CD!!! 24bitリマスターで、突き抜けたアレンジと男女混合コーラスがスッキリと空間的に聴こえてオモシロいです！ モンドブーム（？）の時期に、これをアナログLP盤でゲットした人にも試してもらいたいブツ!!! Back in 1958, Bob Thompson was a young arranger and conductor from California with the firm belief that the unexpected is exciting. If music is going to be funhe reasonedit ought to have surprises. With that in mind, he created a jazz-influenced choral-orchestral sound he could justifiably call his own. The chorus, thanks to Thompsons astute conception, became an integrated section of the orchestra. This collection presents the three great albums he recorded for RCA Victor, including a batch of choice standards and several of Thompsons own compositions, all light-hearted and with the infectious flavor that was his signature. You will find his music refreshing, adventuresome, spontaneous, swinging, sensuous, hip, and, above all, intelligent. It was especially designed with an eye (and both ears) toward Stereo, and includes the excellent musical contributions of some outstanding Hollywood jazz musicians. Bobs albums are some of the finest examples of what later became known as Space Age Pop records. （blue moon） CD 1 JUST FOR KICKS 1. ON THE STREET WHERE YOU LIVE 2:45 2. ALL OF YOU 2:22 3.
