Pete Rugolo & His Orchestra - TV Top Themes

This CD brings together two interesting, rare and long out of print LPs by composer/arranger Pete Rugolo from a period in which he alternated his arranging work for Stan Kenton (with whom he began collaborating in 1945), with his own personal projects. These two albums are an example of the latter. TV Top Themes presents interesting arrangements of famous TV themes taken from several series of the sixties. Behind Brigitte Bardot includes the music of some of the most famous films featuring Brigitte Bardot. Rugolo reunited for this project a true all-star orchestra featuring some of the most outstanding jazz figures from the West Coast, including Pete Candoli, Jack Sheldon, Frank Rosolino, Bud Shank, Paul Horn, Buddy Collette, Larry Bunker, Buddy Clark, Mel Lewis and Joe Mondragon. Gambit. 2006.
