CD Reviews

Historically important, but super-sleepy big band material

Joe Sixpack -- Slipcue.com | ...in Middle America | 09/19/2002

(4 out of 5 stars)

"Now, see, I like the cornball aspect of the big band era as much as anybody else does, but even I have to admit when I'm licked. California-born trumpet player Dick Jurgens led one of the top second-string bands in the early '40s, and had a strong run of hits before World War Two swept him (and most of his players) into the armed services. Be that as it may, Jurgens arrangements are too just too darn sleepy and square for me, it's like getting all the squareness of the Glenn Miller approach, but without any of the pep. Eddy Howard, who was Jurgens' big star vocalist, was never a big favorite of mine, and unfortunately after Howard left the orchestra, Jurgens kept hiring guys who stuck to the same leaden style. Devoted big band fans (among whom I can be counted) may find this disc a blessing -- it certainly has all the hits -- but I can't say that it really wowed me."
