Album Description

The jaunty Gene DePaul score for the musical play "Lil' Abner" based on the comic strip by Al Capp is heard instrumentally - and it's quite a show! "Broadway Bouquet" from 1965 is an important part of the famed Faith "string" album series - perhaps the pinnacle of his rich string sound that spanned gorgeous melodies and counterlines across sections of the large orchestra. (Bill Halvorsen)

Album Description

Pianist Percy Faith, a pioneer of the Easy Listening genre, had a successful and lengthy career as the in-house conductor and arranger for Columbia Records. Faith was renowned for his musical interpretations of Broadway and motion picture music. These two reissues from Collectables on 1 CD were originally released in 1965. 24 tracks. 2003.

It's not stereo.......2005-01-10

I bought this solely for "Once Upon a Time", and was dismayed that the CD is mono, not stereo. The quality of the recordings leaves much to be desired, as many of them lack the pristine quality I'm used to on a CD.

classic arrangements by the classic gentlemen ~ Percy Faith.......2004-02-16

Two albums from the Columbia Records people blending different decades "Li'l Abner" (originally released CL 955 in 1956) and "Broadway Bouquet" (originally released LS 9156 in 1965), sharing the unmistakable style of the "Percy Faith Touch" ~ you know in an instant you're in for the best of the best ~ Duke Ellington was so taken with Faith's arrangements, that he would give anything to be able to arrange in that fashion.

Let's begin with "IT'S A TYPICAL DAY" along with "LOVE IN A HOME", both from "Li'l Abner", wonderful opening counterparts and the stirring arrangements by Maestro Percy Faith ~ "JUBILATON T. CORNPONE", uplifting cue that will keep bouncing in your head for hours, maybe even days ~ "IF I HAD MY DRUTHERS", one of the forgettable tunes from the show ~ "NAMELY YOU", has to be the best and favorite song of the Johnny Mercer and Gene De Paul score ~ by the way, these two composers penned the lively screen musical "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers", both scores were sure winners from two talented songwriters, Percy Faith steps up to the podium and takes it to another level.

Now with "Broadway Bouquet", we have perfection within the realm of lush arranging, so flawless "HELLO, DOLLY!" (Jerry Herman), "ONCE UPON A TIME" (Adams/Strouse), "SOMEWHERE" (Sondheim/Bernstein), "SUNRISE, SUNSET/FIDDLER ON THE ROOF" (Harnick/Bock) (one of my all-time favorites, can't get enough of this score), "WHO CAN I TURN TO (WHEN NOBODY NEEDS ME)" (Bricusse/Newley), "A QUIET THING" (Ebb/Kander), "MAKE SOMEONE HAPPY" (Comden/Green/Styne), "WHAT KIND OF FOOL AM I?" (Bricusse/Newley) (two of the best songwriters in the business), "LONG AGO" (David Heneker), "THE SWEETEST SOUNDS" (Richard Rodgers) (his credit of compositions goes through the ceiling, will never be another like 'em), "AS LONG AS HE NEEDS ME" (Lionel Bart) (a wonderful classic that is still popular by today's standards), "THEME FROM "GOLDEN BOY" (Adams Strouse) (another team of composers that have made an impact on the Broadway scene) ~ an example of the "Percy Faith Touch", so effortless, you feel like you're floating on a cloud ~ falls into Percy's many albums of fabulous string arrangements, they grabbed the attention of the listener and wouldn't let go. Can't think of any other arranger/composer who left such a great legacy as this man!

Highly recommend to ALL fans of Percy Faith ~ thanks to Collectables for releasing this collection from the vaults of Columbia Records ~ so listeners sit back, relax and enjoy a small part of Maestro Percy Faith's fabulous career!

Clever, catchy, literate power-pop.......2002-09-26

This new album by this New York oddball builds on the Graham Parker/Elvis Costello-isms of his first album, but with a much lusher, more supple sound. Songs such as "Ape" and "Sweater" offer near-irresistible riffs, somewhat hypnotically layered waves of melody and clever, catchy lyrics. The most striking track on here is "All My Little Ships," a tongue-in-cheek exploration of zygotic sexuality with a florid, bombastic, thoroughly satisfying cascade of an finale. Bango ought to be in the upper eschelon of contemporary power poppers, and I hope this album will go a long way towards that goal... Recommended!

A GREAT LITTLE DISC.......2000-04-14

This is a decent disc of great pop music tinged with sadness. Somewhat adolescent yet very imaginatively vivid and intelligent lyrics, and complex tunes? Great uptempo numbers, and also great melancholy pop. The guy sounds alot like Elvis Costello on many of the songs. Not for the faint of heart--don't listen if you're just getting over a girl!

Simply some of the most enjoyable music available.......1999-09-15

The chord progression and structure is far from basic. With time changes and many different production techniques every track stands on it's own with brilliance. Definitely influences from Elvis Costello and major minor modulations reminiscent of some older Squeeze, but originality and individuality are always present. Lyrics are juicy and clever although occasionally some lyrics become a bit too tongue-and-cheek for this fan. Musically sound without being overproduced - all components of each track blend together well. Frank's vocals are always heart felt and speak to the listener. The album is not one-dimensional with all tracks sounding the same - great deal of variety is how I would describe the overall album but there is balance and unity among the tracks that keep everything together. Usually new artists releasing an album go for 10-15 tracks that all take a stab at different styles and production etc... usually these recordings are like pot luck dinners and they always make me sick. Frank has a unique style and niche and he is faithful to it.

Frank Bango--Fugitive Girls.......1999-09-05

If Elvis Costello joined The Silly Pillows, it might just sound like this. But he hasn't. Frank Bango does his own thing, creating, in the process, some ultra-warm, super-chewy acoustic pop nestled snugly inside a clever song cycle. Instantly likeable pop is at a premium these days. Songs like "Ape" and "A Monster In Your Cookie Jar" are loaded with pop structure, as well as smart lyrics courtesy of Richey Vesecky. Even when the music takes a psychedelic turn ("Entertaining Anne"), the vocal harmonies keep it accessible and hummable. It's nice to see this much effort being put into the long mutated art of pop songwriting. Bango and Vesecky know how to craft a song. As a result, this is an excellent album.
