More Jazz Meets the Symphony is an album by Argentine-American composer, pianist and conductor Lalo Schifrin with bassist Ray Brown, drummer Grady Tate, trumpeter Jon Faddis, multi-instrumentalists Paquito D'Rivera and James Morrison, and the London Philharmonic Orchestra recorded in 1993 and released on the Atlantic label.[1] The album was the second in Schifrin's highly acclaimed "Jazz Meets the Symphony" series.
Reception
[edit]The Allmusic review by Richard S. Ginell stated "Breaking the long-standing curse of sequels, the second installment of Schifrin's Jazz Meets the Symphony series is even better than the first. For one thing, Schifrin was able to place his own distinctive orchestral stamp more firmly upon these arrangements, sometimes reaching into his bag of tricks familiar to us from his film cues. For another, he has three expert, often fiery solo horns on tap here".[2]
