In 1967 Benny Golson, composer of "Whisper Not" and "I Remember Clifford," and a highly respected jazz arranger and tenorman, tried his hand at the easy-listening game with this delightful set of themes from well-known TV commercials of the day. Vivid instrumental colors abound, including harpsichord, xylophone, chromatic harmonica, wordless girlie chorus, and Golson's own Varitone sax solos. (The Varitone was an octave-doubling device much in use at the time.)
Not that Golson ever falls in the trap of faux psychedelic bad taste. Unlike that gaudy genius Esquivel, this veteran jazzman's bachelor pad fantasies remain light, swinging and just a little funky. The versions here of the Bob Crewe Generation's "Music To Watch Girls By" and the T-Bones' "No Matter What Shape" come across as slightly hipper cousins to the AM orginals. '60s A&R legend Tom Wilson (Bob Dylan, The Velvet Underground, Janis Ian) produced.
