The Fresh Sounds blurb for their reissue of Jackie Paris Sings the Lyrics of Ira Gershwin indicates that it was arranged by pianist Irving Joseph.
Is this the same Irving Joseph who recorded the amazing Murder, Inc. for Time Records?
I would love that. There must be other jazz albums from that period, like Monk's Greatest Hits, with liner notes that were self-consciously trying to appeal to 60s youth culture.
Late-'60s liner notes are often ridiculous, and lines from many of them have stuck in my mind over the decades.
For example, a line from the Love Generation's debut on Imperial, in which they discuss an impromptu party with "7-Up, pressed ham sandwiches, and flowers flowing freely."
I often think about musical paths that were largely unexplored. Hearing this video makes me wonder if a subgenre of "rock" versions of jazz tunes could have evolved. I don't mean like fusion, but simply playing jazz tunes with a more or less rock/R&B approach. I'm sure there are examples of this kind of thing sprinkled over the decades, but still. (I realize that the NRBQ players have at least some jazz cred.)
You can download the tracks as Wav files from the InterTubes.
That said, $8.49 for a rare 10" album in lossless format is a great deal.
$6.99 for mp3 files is not necessarily a good deal.
I'll check it out. I also have this train compilation from Ace Records:
