Nelson Riddle Plays "Little Girl Blue"
-
Artist:
Another song by the great Richard Rodgers (music) and Lorenz Hart (words) is “Little Girl Blue†created in 1935 for their stage musical “Jumbo†which was later made into a movie in 1960 and starred Doris Day and Jimmy Durante. This time, Riddle opts for an impressionistic hued arrangement which has a stopped time feature played on reeds with masterful vibes solo (presumably by Emil Richards, a Riddle favorite musician at the time). The strings take over for a bath of appealing proportions before returning to the reeds and their stopped timing for the characteristic unfinished but still satisfying ending so typical of Riddle.
