Andi ChorleyEnded Monday and welcomed Tuesday after a swim with European Windows by John Lewis from 1958 released on RCA Victor.
Review by Scott Yanow
Although John Lewis plays piano throughout this orchestral album, he only solos on one piece ("Two Degrees East-Three Degrees West"). There are spots for baritonist Ronnie Ross and flutist Gerry Weinkopf but this is very much a third-stream effort. The Stuttgart Symphony Orchestra does not attempt to swing and the charts often lean more toward Western classical music (and the type of music one might expect from a soundtrack) than jazz.
