Isis Big Band - MacArthur Park

"MacArthur Park" is a song written by Jimmy Webb that was originally composed as part of an intended cantata. Although it was initially rejected by The Association,[1] Richard Harris was the first to record the song in 1968 that was subsequently covered by numerous artists. Among the best known covers of the song are Donna Summer's disco arrangement from 1978 and Waylon Jennings' version recorded in 1969. Maynard Ferguson,[2] Stan Kenton[3] and Woody Herman all performed big-band jazz arrangements of the pop song. There was some debate as to whether the name applies to the noted park of the same name off Wilshire Boulevard in Los Angeles, or to the less-known MacArthur Park in Little Rock, Arkansas. In a 2007 interview with The Los Angeles Times Webb said the MacArthur Park in Los Angeles was a place where he and his girlfriend frequently met. In an interview with Terry Gross broadcast on NPR July 22, and recorded in 2004, Jimmy Webb said it was about the park in Los Angeles, and the park had been changed in the years since he wrote about it.[4] We play this record as the Maynard Ferguson and his orchestra played. Recorded on 27th of February in 2010 at Béla Bartók Concert Hall, Szombathely (Hungary) http://www.isisbigband.hu
