Les BROWN & His Band of RenownLive at the Hollywood Palladium
 
The band business has undergone many vital changes
in the past. Of the few orchestras that have lived through all the vicissitudes
of those years, some have made radical adjustments in style to cope with the new
demands of a younger generation; others, through failing to recognise these
demands, have waned in popular appeal. Still others have suffered inevitable and
damaging changes in personnel. Through the entire era, Les Brown alone has
continued to move along smoothly in a straight line. His changes in style and
personnel never have been minor; his popularity has persisted unflaggingly. Yet
he has never had the allegiance of the type of fan cult that has elevated the
Goodmans, the Kentons and Hermans, to prize-winning pinnacles. This CD,
presenting "Les Brown at the Hollywood Palladium", should do much to rectify the
situation. These Les Brown recording shows the band at the top of it's form and
should be an eye-opener for anyone who thinks the band was just an appendage to
Doris Day. See also JASCD438.
