Description:
Marty becames interested in jazz in 1940 when he heard the Jimmy Lunceford band play. As a student of the distinguished Mario Castelnuvo Tedesco, he absorbed the fundamentals of harmony and counterpoint. In 1951, with a Maters Degree in Composition he became one of the most sought after arrangers of the music business in the Los Angeles scene. These recordings, the first he did as a leader, are not only further evidence of the talent, versatility and imagination of Marty, but also a showcase for the more academic approach to jazz scoring he promoted within the boundaries of the West Coast school of jazz during the mids Fifties. |
