1962 studio album by Tadd Dameron
The Magic Touch Tadd Dameron and His Orchestra, released on Riverside Records . It was also Dameron's final completed work before his death three years later.
The Allmusic Review of the line-up says that "one has to be in awe of them, and that only Dameron was able to convene such a band of extraordinary jazz performers in their prime."[ 6]
The album has since been reissued many times on Original Jazz Classics .[ 6]
Reception
In his Down Beat John S. Wilson awarded the album three stars and wrote: "Although Dameron's arrangements are, for the most part, designed as settings for soloists, neither the soloists nor the arrangements generate much interest."[ 1]
