The Tony Ansell Orchestra - Just Arranging

Track sequence shown on the back cover is totally different.

RAMBLINGS ON THE SCORE...

..."Well, the rhythm section was born out of that exceptional jazz-rock band 'Crossfire' - who already have two albums to their credit. We also involved two outstanding studio musicians in Paul Baker and Will Dower. Jim Kelly's superlative guitar work is featured."

..."Brass was headed by Keith Stirling currently studying in America on a music grant ... A jazz player of considerable note, with a great talent for combining musically compatible players."

..."String leaders John Lyle and selected players managed a formidable array of scores brilliantly in the short time available."

..."In the woodwinds Don Burrows plays concert and alto flute, and as one would expect his playing is a memorable experience. What a pleasure to have such a fine arranger and instrumentalist as Col Loughnan involved in the sessions. Col's musical experience stretches from the 'Delltones' to 'Ayers Rock'. That other exciting tenor sax sound could only be Tony Buchanan."

..."Backing vocals were all by Australia's most talented and versatile studio singer Kerrie Biddell, well known as leader of her fabulous jazz-rock band 'Compared to What!'

..."The production team would have to be one of Australia's finest. Producer Peter Wall's easy going professional attitude and considerable BBC experience seemed to combine so well with the engineering of Dennis Fox with Ian Davies assisting. I believe they've produced exceptionally good vibes on this master tape."

..."Definetely - a good one!"
