Description:

[Gary McFarland is a master arranger who is gaining momentum in recent years. His sound is a stylish crossover of pop, bossa nova, and lounge. This album features a small combo formation, and his vibraphone can be enjoyed from the opening track, "Pecos Pete. The melancholy of "Amor Tormentoso" featuring Richie Camuca's oboe is also good. You can hear his ennui scat at the end of the song. Gary McFarland (vib), Willie Dennis (tb), Richie Cameuca (ts, oboe), Jimmy Rainey (g), Steve Swallow (b), Mel Lewis (ds) Recorded September 5 and 6, 1963 in New York
