Looks like a great set! Particularly interested in the flute solos -- "Birdito" from THE CARETAKERS has a killer flute solo on the OST so this and DEVIL IN A BLUE DRESS should be great stuff. Nice touch throwing in a vocal from THE SILENCERS. Hard to pass up Bernstein in any case!

Super cool offering from Varese....keeping Elmer's music alive in a special way with a new recording. In fact it's something he probably would have considered doing if he himself were still around.

This does look very good. I just wish I could hear parts of some of the tracks. Maybe Varese will provide this soon.

I hope I'm not speaking out of turn, but is something going "on" between Robert Townson and Sara Andon?! I mean, she's plastered over every Varese-related concert, every new Varese-produced recording, every Facebook post... Just curious! lol

Does anyone know who the arranger is on this?

Various arrangers... I believe the Ghostbusters theme was done by either Randy Edelman or Lee Holdridge (?).

The iTunes clip reminds me of the band that played at my wedding reception.
My father-in-law hired them so he got the blame, but I recall my Aunt Gertie being pleased with them because they played all her requests.

The arrangers bane. Credits for everyone but them.
Nelson Riddle once told me that if you don't conduct your arrangements, the audience thinks the leader did everything.
