Paul Weston and His Orchestra Mood For 12 [1955]


Columbia Records CL 693

From a memo by Paul Weston: "As you will notice the selection of music gives a line-up of real "American" tunes... most of them associated with the Hoagy Carmichael-midwestern school of music. The main difference between this mood music and the type currently being recorded is that these sides also feature improvisation by a soloist... This album is the warmest and most interesting I've ever had anything to do with - mostly because of the terrific solos by the guys." [Excerpt liner notes]
