[Dixielandjazz] Pal Joey

[Steve Barbone]

Don't forget Nelson Riddle.

The swinging band in the movie Pal Joey can be attributed to the talents of
Nelson Riddle who arranged and adapted the music. There was also a movie
soundtrack album issued under his name, on Capitol Records, in 1958.

Frank Sinatra long admired the swinging sounds of Nelson Riddle arrangements
and hired him as his primary arranger during the 1950s. Riddle also won a
"Down Beat Award" for his arrangements and musical direction in Pal Joey.

Cheers,
Steve Barbone
