This album is one of those rare treasures that keep on giving four decades later. Getting his start with Sinatra and Jobim, Claus Ogerman became synonomous with orchestration featuring, among many others, flutes, picolos and whistling. His string arrangements are like a soft feather pillow that caress you to sleep. His use of dynamic inventions to keep things flowing is pure brilliance. To this writer, Claus is on the same rare level as Arif Mardin, Johnny Mandel, George Martin and Nelson Riddle.
