Off-Beat

Off-Beat is a 1960 album by American jazz vocalist June Christy, arranged and conducted by Pete Rugolo. The tracks on the album were included on a 1997 double-CD re-issue under the title The Song Is June! ==Critical reception== AllMusic wrote that "Pete Rugolo's typically unusual and surprising arrangements inspire the singer and make this a fairly memorable (if not famous) outing." Jazz Times, in a review of the album's reissue, wrote that "despite their vocal limitations, these performances are hauntingly expressive mementos of an artist who never gave less than her all, and is fondly remembered by a host of devotees." ==Track listing== “Remind Me” (Jerome Kern, Dorothy Fields) “Out of This World” (Harold Arlen, Johnny Mercer) “You Wear Love So Well” (George Handy, Jack Segal) “Off Beat” (Leon Pober) “The Bad and the Beautiful” (David Raksin, Dory Langdon) “Who Cares About April?” (Ken Hanna, Hank Levy) “You Say You Care” (Jule Styne, Leo Robin) “Out of the Shadows” (Pete Rugolo, Bobby Troup) “A Sleepin' Bee” (Harold Arlen, Truman Capote) “Somewhere (If Not in Heaven)” (Kenny Burrell) ==Personnel== Tracks 3, 5, 6, 8 and 10 June Christy - vocals woodwinds including Bud Shank - also saxophone, flute Bob Cooper - tenor saxophone, oboe Larry Bunker - vibraphone Pete Rugolo - arranger, conductor string quartet Recorded Capitol Tower, Hollywood, California, August 8, 1960 Tracks 1, 2, 4, 7 and 9 June Christy - vocals trumpets including Don Fagerquist trombones including Frank Rosolino French horns woodwinds including Bud Shank - alto saxophone, flute Bob Cooper - tenor saxophone, oboe Joe Castro - piano Pete Rugolo - arranger, conductor Recorded Capitol Tower, Hollywood, California, 19 August 1960 ==References== ==External links==
