Count Basie, Montreux '77

[DIS]

Would somebody who has this album please tell me who is given the arranger credits for "The More I See You"?

[Stereojack]

No arranger credit is given. Looked it up in Chris Sheridan's Bio-Discography, and there's no credit there, either.

Neal Hefti

Let me tell you why I wanted to know. I wanted to acquire the arrangement.

Apparently the album doesn't give arranging credits. I found a source for an arrangement of this tune as played by Count Basie, so I took a chance and bought it. It turned out to be the arrangement that Basie recorded on his Montreux '77 album, exactly what I was looking for.

But here's the problem. The arrangement is in manuscript, but on the second page of each part is the typed line "Arranged by Quincy Jones." So which arranging information is correct? Either the information on the chart identifying Quincy Jones is correct or your information identifying Neal Hefti is correct.

So now may I please ask, What is the source of your information that Neal Hefti is the arranger?

If it says Quincy Jones is the arranger, then it's probably Billy Byers who is actually the arranger...
