The Music Man (album)
The Music Man (full title Jimmy Giuffre and his Music Men Play The Music Man) is an album by American jazz composer and arranger Jimmy Giuffre featuring tunes from Meredith Willson's 1957 Broadway musical, The Music Man which was released on the Atlantic label in February 1958.[1][2] Reception
Scott Yanow of Allmusic states: "this particular set finds Giuffre (tripling as usual on clarinet, tenor and baritone) leading a somewhat conventional band, a seven-horn pianoless nonet. ...The arrangements (all by Giuffre) swing, the beauty and joy of the melodies are brought out, and the leader is in top form. A true rarity".[3] Track listingAll compositions by Meredith Willson
