I remember when I first heard the title song from the album. I had been years into the big band sound of the forties and early fifties and thought to myself that sound had been updated and was blown away by it.
So Rare became a late-career hit in 1957 for Jimmy Dorsey, reaching #2 on Billboard magazine's pop charts, and #4 on the R&B singles chart. Recorded on 11 November 1956 and released on the Cincinnati label Fraternity, Jimmy Dorsey's version, which had a decidedly rhythm and blues feel unlike the earlier versions, became the highest charting song by a big band during the first decade of the rock and roll era. Credited on the label to "Jimmy Dorsey with Orchestra and Chorus", the vocals are by the Artie Malvin Singers. Billboard ranked this version as the No. 5 song for 1957.

A couple of other great songs on this album are June Night and Jay-Dee's Boogie Woogie! Both are bouncy songs with Boogie Woogie being fast and furious.
There is a mind-blowing video of Dorsey just wailing away on his sax in the forties on YouTube (link below); it's truly amazing! In addition there is a film of his version of the song Tangerine which i have always loved; the vocal is by Bob Eberly and Helen O'Connell.
Following his brother Tommy’s death in November 1956, an ailing Jimmy Dorsey led their orchestra himself, struggling through a final tour of one-nighters and scoring the biggest hit of his career with “So Rare,” before succumbing to cancer in June 1957

Today is the birthday of a leap year baby; American jazz clarinetist, saxophonist, composer and big band leader, James Francis Dorsey, professionally known as Jimmy Dorsey and the older brother of Tommy Dorsey.
According to an article in 2004 by Christopher Popa (link below), Roc Hillman said Jimmy Dorsey had something which his brother Tommy didn't.

Today, February 26, is the birthday of Fats Domino who was born in 1928. He was an American rhythm and blues pianist and singer-songwriter. In 1957 he recorded one of my All-Time favorite hits, Blueberry Hill. I remember falling in love with the song when I heard it.
I was in high school and deeply in love with a beautiful girl named
Janet who would break my heart later that year. While the lyrics are about
having lost a love, the melody is beautiful and Domino's piano work is
exquisite. Also, it is a terrific slow dance song!

Blueberry Hill was written by Vincent Rose, Al Lewis and Larry Stock for Gene Autry to sing in his 1941 western The Singing Hill; it became one of Autry's best-selling recordings. The song had previously been recorded, in 1940 by Sammy Kaye, Gene Krupa, the Glenn Miller Orchestra, Kay Kyser, Russ Morgan, Connee Boswell, and Jimmy Dorsey; then by Louis Armstrong in 1949 and many others (links below).
The Domino version was ranked number 82 in Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.

Blueberry Hill lyrics
[Verse 1]
I found my thrill on Blueberry Hill
On Blueberry Hill, when I found you
[Verse 2]
The moon stood still on Blueberry Hill
And lingered until my dream came true
[Bridge 1]
The wind in the willow played
Love's sweet melody
But all of those vows you made
Were never to be
[Verse 3]
Though we're apart, you're part of me still
For you were my thrill on Blueberry Hill
[Bridge 2]
The wind in the willow played
Love's sweet melody
But all of those vows you made
Were only to be
[Verse 4]
Though we're apart, you're part of me still
For you were my thrill on Blueberry Hill
I found my thrill on Blueberry Hill
On Blueberry Hill, when I found you
[Verse 2]
The moon stood still on Blueberry Hill
And lingered until my dream came true
[Bridge 1]
The wind in the willow played
Love's sweet melody
But all of those vows you made
Were never to be
[Verse 3]
Though we're apart, you're part of me still
For you were my thrill on Blueberry Hill
[Bridge 2]
The wind in the willow played
Love's sweet melody
But all of those vows you made
Were only to be
[Verse 4]
Though we're apart, you're part of me still
For you were my thrill on Blueberry Hill

The star of the film is Ewa Aulin who never did many more or memorable films but the backing cast is astounding! They include Charles Aznavour, Marlon Brando, Richard Burton, James Coburn, John Huston, Walter Matthau and Ringo Starr in a non-singing role. It has cameo roles by Sugar Ray Robinson, Anita Pallenberg, Florinda Bolkan, Marilù Tolo, Nicoletta Machiavelli, Umberto Orsini, and Enrico Maria Salerno.

As with many soundtrack albums I have, I never actually saw the film; I am only familiar with the music from the film.
Birth By Descent is a pretty cool cut; it starts out sounding very Spanish then goes into a very short but trippy instrumental segment, with trumpet by Don Ellis. then back to a Spanish feeling.
