In the late 40s Emmanuel (Manny) Albam put away his baritone saxophone because it was getting in the way of his pen. From then on, he established himself firmly as one of the most skilled, perhaps the busiest, of all the freelance arrangers on the New York scene. Although he worked with great success in the pop field, he was usually associated with jazz. His originals for Basie, Herman, Gibbs, Ferguson, and other big bands are as familiar as the many remarkable LPs listed under his own name.

With "West Side Story", Albam achieved one of his greatest works. Most of the material is emotionally charged and moody, but the precise execution of Albam’s inspired arrangements, along with superbly apt solos, injected considerably more jazz life into Bernstein’s provocative score. "Steve’s Songs", the second album on this CD, illustrates how unpretentiously Manny’s arrangements married swing to function. Tasty. (freshsoundrecords. com)
