Sunday Bandstand 8 January 2023
Neal Paul Hefti (October 29, 1922 – October 11, 2008) was an American jazz trumpeter, composer, and arranger. He wrote music for The Odd Couple movie and TV series and for the Batman TV series.
He began arranging professionally in his teens when he wrote charts for Nat Towles. He composed and arranged while working as a trumpeter for Woody Herman providing the bandleader with versions of ‘Woodchopper's Ball’ and ‘Blowin' Up a Storm’ and composing ‘The Good Earth’ and ‘Wild Root’. He left Herman's band in 1946. Now concentrating on writing music only, he began an association with Count Basie in 1950. Hefti occasionally led his own bands.
Outside of his work for Basie, Hefti led a big band of his own during the 1950s. In 1951, one of these bands featured his wife Frances Wayne on vocals. They recorded and toured off and on with this and other incarnations of this band throughout the 1950s. Although his own band did not attain the same level of success as the bands he arranged for, he did receive a Grammy nomination for his own album Jazz Pops (1962), which included recordings of ‘Li'l Darlin,’ ‘Cute,’ and ‘Coral Reef’.
On this week’s show we are featuring ‘Cute’ arranged by Philip Sparke and played by the Cory Band with MD: Philip Harper.
