Supercussion – DICK SCHORY***

Take The A Train/Perdido/On Green Dolphin Street/Nomad/Autumn Leaves/Hindustan/A String Of Pearls/ Shimboo/Stompin’ At The Savoy/Bijou/The Brush Off/Krazy Kwilt

Percussionist and bandleader Dick Schory achieved his second US album chart success with Supercussion. His popularizing of percussion music opened the way for this transitory musical phenomenon of the late 1950s and early 1960s, focussed primarily on the US album market. (US:13)

"Schory's influence on both classical and pop percussionists was enormous."

"About half of the album is mildly worthwhile, nothing is exceptional. Schory and percussion LP completists only will consider it a good buy."

"This album contains cut after cut of fantastic arrangements."

"If you get just one Schory album, this is a great choice, the record is awesome."
