Joe Reisman and His Orchestra Party Night At Joe's [1958]


RCA Victor LSP-1476
"Most of Joe's previous arrangements have been in a lush style that featured the use of many strings.  In this album he turns to a strictly big-band style with no strings whatsoever.  The sound is big and full - but clean.  The brass is sharp and biting, the reeds mellow and the harmonies close and rich.  Above all is the beat, for the music swings - and swings again - and keeps on swinging from the first selection to the last."  [Excerpt liner notes]
