Product Information
The eldest of Bing Crosby’s sons, Gary (1933-1995), became, almost inevitably, part of the entertainment business from his early teens, performing for quite a few years with considerable success as an actor and singer. Unfortunately, from the late 60s his career began to decline due to personal problems and never recovered. But in the late 50s, while he was still enjoying the limelight, he recorded these two albums, singing with swing, conviction and the benefit of some exceptionally crisp and driving jazz backing.
On the first, “G. C. Belts the Blues,” an eleven-piece band conducted and arranged by Marty Paich provides the swinging framework to Crosby’s interpretations of well known, bluesy tunes.
On the second, “The Happy Bachelor,” arranger Bunny Botkin uses a quartet with guitar, with the occasional addition of a trumpet or a vibist to make it a quintet. The group’s support adds zest to a collection of pleasant tunes, while Crosby’s charm and personality reveal an artist of style and individuality. (freshsoundrecords. com)
