What Sounds!" is an album full of imaginative and swinging dance music conceived, arranged and conducted by Dean Elliott (1925-1999). His extraordinary band sounds bigger than it has the right to, featuring brasses, reeds, and a rhythm section magnified by the swinging flashes of brilliant coloring that the harpsichord brings, and by a number of unusual percussion effects in Spectacular Stereo! And the solos, scattered here and there, feature work by some of the best West Coast jazz studio musicians available, including Milt Bernhart trombone, Bob Cooper tenor, Bud Shank alto, and the glistening trumpet of Don Fagerquist. The second album here was recorded six years earlier, and it was the first attempt by Elliott in his innovative search of a new sound in the field of dance music. With an exciting group of top Hollywood musicians, and enhanced by the colorful effects of Bobby Hammack’s harpsichord, xylophone, vibes, and assorted woodwinds, "The Hi-Fi Sound of the Dean Elliott Big Band" features some unison voices worked in with the band, in a delightful program of standards and six originals penned by the leader. 01.
