State of the Art

Moonlight Serenade 

Here is how Miller should have done it in the first place. I'm not sure a lot of Miller fans in the 40s would have gotten into it. For that matter I'm not sure how many Miller fans today can get into it. But I'm not a Miller fan so check it out.

The first of two sets by Bob Florence's Limited Edition Orchestra for the USA label breaks from his tradition in that only four of the nine selections are Florence originals. The arranger completely reworks such familiar tunes as "Just Friends," "Moonlight Serenade," "All the Things You Are" and even "Auld Lang Syne." Among the key players are altoist Lanny Morgan, trumpeter Steve Huffsteter, Bob Cooper on tenor, and Kim Richmond on alto and soprano. Modern, swinging and unpredictable music.
