Harry Carney with Strings

Album Notes & Community Reviews

Stepping out from his legendary role as an ensemble anchor, the baritone saxophonist applies his massive, velvety tone to lush orchestral arrangements. The combination of deep, resonant woodwind phrasing against sweeping string sections creates a profoundly romantic, almost melancholic atmosphere. The recording is a rare, breathtaking showcase of the instrument's lyrical potential outside of big band structural duties.
