The Jack Elliott Orchestra The Sound of Dynamic Woodwinds [1960]



Kapp Records Medallion Series MS-7505

Mr. Elliott became one of the top composers and arrangers in Hollywood. If a television show was popular in the 1970's, it most likely had the music of Mr. Elliott and his collaborator, Allyn Ferguson. Those shows included ''Barney Miller,'' ''Charlie's Angels'' and ''The Love Boat.'' He also worked in such films as ''The Jerk'' and ''Oh, God!''

He graduated from the Hartt School of Music at the University of Hartford. He worked as a jazz pianist in New York and lived in Paris in the 1950's, where he developed friendships with other expatriate musicians. He was also the musical director for the Henry Mancini Institute.
