Shorty Rogers And His Giants

Biography

Shorty Rogers and His Giants is an album by American jazz trumpeter, composer and arranger Shorty Rogers originally released by RCA Victor in 1953 as a 10-inch LP and reissued in 1956 in the 12 inch format with four additional tracks. The nonet's pieces are kept in the cool jazz idiom, much like the similar in style but largely more successful Birth of the Cool, which was recorded 3 years earlier but appeared 4 years later. Also, the orchestration is comparable, featuring more unusual voices like the French horn and the tuba.
