The Freddy Merkle Group - Jazz Under The Dome - VG+ (VG Cover) LP Record 1958 Vik Mono US Original Press Vinyl - Jazz
The Freddy Merkle Group – Jazz Under The Dome
[...] "In 1957, Potts wrote and arranged every number and played piano on the VIK LP, Jazz Under the Dome, by drummer Freddy Merkle's eleven-piece group, supplying such gems as "555 Feet High," "Proto Cool," "White House," "D.C. Current," "Shhhhh!" and "Aide de 'Comp'." Like "555 Feet High" (the height of the Washington Monument) uses one of Potts' favorite devices, the fugue or rondo, in which one section of the band (usually the reeds) states the melody, then is joined by another and another in variations of the main theme, with trumpets, trombones and saxophones playing breathtaking counterpoint until brought together by a dramatic and dynamic coda."
