With these sides, Herb Geller and his All-Stars set down one of the best jazz versions of Jule Styne’s score from the Broadway musical “Gypsy.”
Geller’s brilliant improvisational ability is put to the test in some of the numbers, there are also outstanding contributions from Thad Jones and a young Scott LaFaro on bass, while in four of the tunes Barbara Long’s beautiful voice and deep feeling for jazz give Sondheim’s lyrics the attention they deserve. And Herb Geller’s arrangements carry off the difficult feat of not only reflecting the emotional essence of the original show, but also creating the climate where good jazz can flourish.
