“ 5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant West Coast Jazz
Lennie Niehaus was one of the sharpest of the West Coast Jazzers, an extraordinary alto player with amazing technique and well constructed solos. But, great player though he was, the real reason to get this CD (and volumes two and three) is Niehaus' writing and arranging. While Gerry Mulligan was doing his pianoless quartets without the omnipresent (in jazz) harmonic ball and chain, Niehaus takes it to the next level, with intricately weaving lines of three saxes, drums and bass in the first 8 tracks, which are essential. He does add a piano for the rest of the tracks, which are a bit of a comedown from the sound of the quintet tracks. For those who like West Coast Jazz of the 50s, and haven't heard Niehaus, you may well be amazed. Although the value of his arranging for movies can be debated, it's hard to listen to these records and not wonder where else he could have gone besides to the movies. - Amazon Review ”
