When people think of the baritone horn, they think of marching bands  not jazz. But in the 1950s, Gus Mancuso demonstrated that the baritone horn (which shouldn't be confused with the baritone sax) could, in fact, work as a jazz instrument. Although Mancuso played a variety of other instruments  including trombone, trumpet, vibes, and piano  it was his baritone horn playing that made him one of bop's innovators. Released in 2001, Gus Mancuso & Special Friends reissues two albums that he recorded for Fantasy in the 1950s, Introducing Gus Mancuso and Music From New Faces, back to back on a single CD. The special friends that the title refers to include guitarist Eddie Duran, pianist Vince Guaraldi, tenor saxman Richie Kamuca, bassist Red Mitchell, and Cal Tjader, who is heard on drums instead of his usual vibes. It was Tjader, in fact, who brought Mancuso to Fantasy's attention. Throughout these 1956-1958 recordings, Mancuso makes the baritone horn sound perfectly natural as a jazz instrument. Mancuso swings delightfully on the up-tempo selections, and he shows how lyrical a baritone horn player can be on ballads like "Ev'ry Time" and "Guess Who I Saw Today." Gus Mancuso & Special Friends is highly recommended to bop enthusiasts. 1 I'm Glad There Is You 2 Brother 3 Ev'ry Time 4 The Ruble and the Yen 5 By the Way 6 And Baby Makes Three 7 Goody Goody 8 How Do You Like Your Eggs in the Morning? 9 A Hatfull of Dandruff 10 Ev'ry Time We Say Goodbye 11 Love Is a Simple Thing 12 Monotonous 13 Scratch My Back 14 O-Facyes 15 The Boston Beguine 16 Guess Who I Saw Today? 17 Love Is Never Out of Season 18 I'm in Love With Miss Logan
