Mitch Miller MMMMitch! / Music Until Midnight (with Percy Faith)

Busy writing novel arrangements that lauched the careers of many vocalists, here is Mitch on his own with with the hallmarks of his writing, the French horn, the harpsichord, percussion, a chorus and solo vocalist at times. Not a "sing along," this never-before-reissued collection showcases the arranging talent of Mitch Miller. Next Percy Faith takes the baton. Percy's arrangements and some Faith compositions, all feature Mitch Miller as English Horn/oboe soloist. Faith and Miller bring new orchestral life to the melodies of Alec Wilder and Jimmy van Heusen with such tunes as "Goodbye, John" and "Darn That Dream" in the relaxing setting of a classic mood music album.
