Hollywood Brass
Arranged & conducted by Jerry Fielding. A first-rate film composer, Fielding challenged himself to do something a little different in the Sixties instrumental cover genre, banishing woodwinds & strings. "It's Not Unusual" isn't so unusual. "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" is unusual, & he does pretty good with a song that tripped many an arranger into unlistenable smirking silliness. I think Jerry likes The Stones classic. Dig the xylophone & cow bell. The L.A. studio musicians, especially the French Hornists, sound like they enjoyed this session.
