Bunny Berigan And His Orchestra - Frankie And Johnnie Mother Goose

Review by Lucas Don Cruz

Bunny Berigan And His Orchestra's album Frankie And Johnnie Mother Goose is a delightful collection of jazz renditions of classic nursery rhymes. The album features Berigan's signature trumpet playing, which is both playful and soulful, and his band's tight arrangements that bring new life to these timeless songs.

The album opens with "Little Jack Horner," which sets the tone for the rest of the album with its upbeat tempo and swinging rhythms. The band's rendition of "Mary Had a Little Lamb" is particularly noteworthy, with Berigan's trumpet taking center stage and the rest of the band providing a lively accompaniment.

Other highlights include "Humpty Dumpty," which features a catchy horn riff and a driving beat, and "Sing a Song of Sixpence," which showcases Berigan's virtuosic playing and the band's tight harmonies. The album closes with a soulful rendition of "Rock-a-Bye Baby," which showcases Berigan's sensitive side and the band's ability to create a beautiful, mellow atmosphere.
