Claude Thornhill (1908-1965)は1930年代初頭からピアニストとして活躍し、1937年にBigBandを結成しました。1940年頃からはフレンチホルンやチューバ、当時としては珍しかったピッコロやフルート等の木管群を加えて、洒落た編曲を施し人気を博しました。その洗練度は若き日のGil Evans (1912-1988) やGerry Mulligan (1927-1996)に影響を与え、Cool Jazzの始祖などと言われました。まあ、それはちょっとどうかな?と思いますが、戦後(この録音がなされた頃)はほんとにモダンな感じの演奏(Bopではありませんが)を聞かせてくれています。幼馴染のDanny Polo(1901-49)や後年Cool派の代表となるLee Konitz(1927-存命)が加わっているのも聞き所です。
