This is the greatest jazz violin album of all time. It is a flabbergastingly complex exercise in one-man overdubbing almost before the concept existed. Harry Lookofsky wanted a big band of strings, so he orchestrated and performed it all himself. However, the solos were written out as well, which was a distinctly un-hip thing to do in the '50s bop scene, so this album never got the recognition it deserved.

Like they say, if you want it done right, do it yourself...
