Vocalion once again raids the Decca archives to bring you another pair of fantastic albums by the famous Ted Heath Orchestra. Both originally issued in the early 1970s, the albums compiled herein show that after a quarter-century of existence the Heath orchestra had lost none of its legendary ensemble cohesion, swing and sheer fire-power. Long-time Heath associate John Keating provides the arrangements on Those Were the Days, in which the Heath orchestra swings its way through well-known numbers such as Tuxedo Junction, The Stripper, Girl Talk and Canadian Sunset. Roland Shaw, another long-time Heath associate, contributes the arrangements for Big Band Themes Remembered Vol.2. As the title suggests, the Heath band performs some of the tunes associated with several famous bandleaders. On offer are Count Basie?s One O? Clock Jump, Charlie Barnet?s Skyliner, Claude Thornhill?s Snowfall, Benny Goodman?s Flying Home and Jimmy Lunceford?s Uptown Blues, among many others ? all, of course, impeccably executed by the Ted Heath Orchestra.
