Night Winds
This top 10 album from 1956 is further proof that Jackie Gleason wasn't just cashing in on his success as a television comic when he recorded for Capitol; not content to replicate the proven formula of massed strings backing Bobby Hackett's liquid trumpet lines, Jackie chose on this release to emphasize the flute. And not just a flute...more like 23 of 'em! It was a risky experiment, but it worked, and the result was an essential addition to the Gleason canon, which we've reissued here with that oh-so-evocative cover art, new liner notes and *nine bonus tracks*!
