- - - KODACHROME is a new
collection of Raymond Scott's idiosyncratic orchestral music,
performed by the 60-piece Metropole Orchestra. All compositions
are making their CD debut.

With KODACHROME, the Raymond
Scott legacy grows yet again. After Scott disbanded his legendary
"Quintet" in 1939, he formed the first of his many
orchestras. Scott continued to compose, this time for a larger
canvas, and some of his more historically fascinating work often
went commercially unrecorded, performed only on radio (and preserved
on transcription discs
made by Scott himself).
Includes such obscure titles as "A Bullfighter and His Piccolo,"
"Dreary Weather on 6th Avenue," and "Two Young
Lads in Saxophone School." The earliest composition on KODACHROME,
"Confusion Among a Fleet of Taxicabs Upon Meeting With a
Fare," was composed in 1935; the latest, "City of New
York" and "Naked City," date from 1953.
KODACHROME features original
cover artwork by Kellie Strøm, and liner notes by noted
author and jazz historian Will Friedwald...
