Moderators Lee Knight Posted October 15, 2008 Moderators Share Posted October 15, 2008 Neal Hefti. I remember looking forward to every Neal Hefti chart when I did big band jazz. His stuff was always so fun. He seemed to understand how to keep things light but never shallow. His arrangement of "Cute" was awesome. Just as Danny Elfman today has a sound, Neil Hefti had a sound. You could spot his stuff a mile away. Very cool stuff. Later Neal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Billster Posted October 16, 2008 Members Share Posted October 16, 2008 I noticed that. I wasn't aware that he had been retired for so long. His music still sounds fresh today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
