1962 studio album by Tadd Dameron
The Magic Touch Tadd Dameron and His Orchestra, released on Riverside Records . It was also Dameron's final completed work before his death three years later.
The Allmusic Review of the line-up says that "one has to be in awe of them, and that only Dameron was able to convene such a band of extraordinary jazz performers in their prime."[6]
The album has since been reissued many times on Original Jazz Classics .[6]
Reception [ edit ] In his Down Beat John S. Wilson awarded the album three stars and wrote: "Although Dameron's arrangements are, for the most part, designed as settings for soloists, neither the soloists nor the arrangements generate much interest."[1]
