Caution Men Swinging/Ench
Sibling of the legendary Robert Farnon, Dennis Farnon is a brilliant arranger-composer in his own right, and nowhere is this more apparent than in the two albums compiled here. Recorded at the end of the 1950s, when stereo recording had begun to take hold, Dennis collected together a star-studded studio orchestra to interpret his exquisite arrangements. Caution! Men Swinging and The Enchanted Woods not only throw the spotlight on Dennis's skills, but also on the instrumental brilliance of A-grade West Coast jazz and session musicians including Pete Candoli and Don Fagerquist (trumpets), Ted Nash and Gene Cipriano (tenor saxes) and Jimmy Rowles (piano). While Caution! Men Swinging focuses more on the swinging big band sound, The Enchanted Woods features an instrumental line-up devoid of brass instruments, thereby giving Farnon's arrangements a unique, pastel-shaded warmth created by woodwinds (hence the album's title).
