The record
An unusual reed-and-brass instrumentation -- clarinet, bassoon, French horn among them -- brings woodwind-heavy chamber color to Rodgers and Hart's Pal Joey score. Candid's early catalog leaned toward such offbeat, arranger-minded dates, and this one favors muted textures and unusual voicings over blowing-session heat.
Session personnel
