Jerry Fielding - Near East Brass

Jerry Fielding
Near East Brass - West Coast Style

"Fielding recorded under his own name intermittently throughout the 1950s and 1960s, bouncing around labels after a stint with Decca. Of these albums, the one to look for is his sole record for Command, "Near East Brass," which combines relatively authentic interpretations of near Eastern standards such as "Misirlou" with his own original compositions" - spaceage-pop

"The emergence of stereo technology galvanized Fielding's efforts and later LPs including "Magnificence in Brass" and "Near East Brass" remain favorites of exotica collectors" -kelly lounge soundz-

Never heard such an exciting version of Zorba The Greek in my life !!!! -lounge legends-

Jerry Fielding - A Bit of Ireland


Jerry Fielding
A Bit of Ireland

Something of a child prodigy arranger, Jerry Fielding was laying out charts for the pit band of Pittsburgh's Stanley Theatre before he was out of high school. By 18, Alvino Rey had scooped him up and taken him to New York City to write for his new band. Fielding moved out to Los Angeles with Rey, but soon broke off to work as a freelance. Through the mid-1940s, his arrangements could be heard being played by Tommy Dorsey, Kay Kyser, Charlie Barnet, and other popular swing bands. He also branched out into radio, writing for shows starring Bob Crosby, Hoagy Carmichael, Kate Smith, and the Andrews Sisters, and eventually wound up as the musical director of Jack Paar's radio show.

Fielding started recording under his own name in the early 1950s, coinciding with a short spell hosting his own musical show on television. Although television quickly passed him by as a performer, he would be a frequent contributor to television series as a composer and arranger for the rest of his life. Among his greater and lesser TV credits are "The Farmer's Daughter," "The Life of Riley," "Hogan's Heroes," "Bewitched," and the first season of "The Bionic Woman" (Joe Harnell replaced him after Fielding fell ill). In the early 1960s, he began trying his hand at films as well. Fielding's brassy sound must have had a special appeal for macho directors, as he ended up scoring a number of films by Sam Peckinpah and Clint Eastwood, including The Wild Bunch, The Gauntlet, The Enforcer and The Outlaw Josey Wales. He also kept up a steady business on the side writing arrangements for the night club acts of a host of singers ranging from Polly Bergen and Eddie Fisher to the Barry Sisters and Vic Damone.

Fielding recorded under his own name intermittently throughout the 1950s and 1960s, bouncing around labels after a stint with Decca. Of these albums, the one to look for is his sole record for Command, "Near East Brass," which combines relatively authentic interpretations of near Eastern standards such as "Misirlou" with his own original compositions.

1 01 Kerry Dance - Irish Washerwoman
2 02 Believe Me If All Those Endearing Young Charms I Know Where I'm Going
3 03 MacNamara's Band - Stack O' Barley
4 04 If I Were a Blackbird - When Irish Eyes Are Smiling

Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass - Coney Island (1975)

Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass
Coney Island (1975)
Musicians: Herb Alpert, Trumpet, Flugelhorn, Piano, Vocals; Bob Edmondson, Trombone, Bass Trombone; Dave Frishberg, Piano; Vince Charles, Steel Drums/Percussio; Julius Wechter, Marimba/Vibes; Steve Schaeffer, Drums; Papito Hernandez, Bass; Peter Woodford, Guitar; Bob Findley - Trumpet.

This is the reborn TJB's peak of popularity, the music featured in a television special featuring Jim Henson's "Muppets", sponsored by Sentry, which aired in September of 1974. Alpert and TJB would also make an appearance on "The Midnight Special". There are more off-beat or original tracks on this, casting the band in a new and more adventurous light. "Carmine", "Vento Bravo" and Chick Corea's "Señor Mouse" allow the band to stretch more than the TJB of old, and emphasizing more improvisation by the group members.
It is rumored that tracks were recorded for a third TJB reunion album. A couple of those songs were featured on various television specials and released as 45 RPM single B-sides, but they've never surfaced on any TJB album yet. After Coney Island, Alpert would disband the TJB and begin doing projects under his own name. In 1986, the band would reunite.
