Sam Arlen: Arlen Plays Arlen

by Stephen Latessa
May 26, 2005

Arlen Plays Arlen is a celebration of the music of Harold Arlen recorded by his son, tenor saxophonist Sam Arlen, released during the centennial year of the legendary composer's birth. Comprised of performances by two big bands and one smaller, more intimate ensemble, the record is brassy, exuberant, and then unexpectedly tender--much like Arlen's songs.
