5.0 out of 5 stars My favorite Al Hirt trumpet and strings album!
Reviewed in the United States on June 29, 2015

Al Hirt did 2 and a half albums for RCA that featured him with strings. The first one was entitled "The Greatest Horn In the World" and the second side of it had the trumpet and strings featuring Henri Rene and Orchestra with arrangements by Rene. "Trumpet and Strings" with orchestrations by Marty Paich, and finally this album "They're Playing Our Song" with arranger Marty Manning. The first two feature a younger unrestrained Hirt making ample use of his high range with sometimes searing passages making the two a wonderful listen. In this album, however, we find an older Hirt playing in the lower registers and doing it with such musical taste that it makes this particular recording shine with a very different beauty. Al's breath control, and phrasing make this a rare and wonderful find. Much like being out in a desert and finding a pure and undefiled oasis. Now Amazon has it for download in the mp3 and I suggest a listen to it and see if you aren't transported to a musical realm where all is refinement, dazzling technique, and warm, lush sounds. Enjoy!

5.0 out of 5 stars A great trumpet player for the modern era!
Reviewed in the United States on February 2, 2016
[They're Playing Our Song (ca.1965)]; This was one of a slew of albums done by the 'King of New Orleans' for RCA, done during the 1960's. Most of these, are from the 'American Songbook' with Al's trumpet fronting lush, orchestral arrangements. Hirt first, and foremost never considered himself solely a 'jazz musician', but he often chose to play in that style. He displays his 'technique' with great style, and verve. A brass instrumentalist: one who literally soars; and shines, as a featured soloist. This is a good album for those who wish to experience the legendary trumpeter far beyond his familiar hits like: "Java", and "Cotton Candy". Hirt was one of the great trumpet-players of the 'modern era' like Bobby Hackett, Harry James, and Louis Armstrong. Selections like: "I Had The Craziest Dream", and "Deep Purple" really showcase Al's beautiful tonality on the horn, and it washes over the the listener with a rich sentimentality. Really wonderful stuff here for sure.
