Soooo, what did the modern-day big band man do when he wanted to re-create the sounds of classic 1950s film noir music for his new album, "Songs From Lonely Avenue"?
Why, Brian Setzer joined forces with the grandfather of the genre — legendary Frank Comstock, who wrote arrangements for Benny Carter, Stan Kenton, Les Brown and Judy Garland. Comstock also penned theme songs for "Rocky & Bullwinkle," "Adam 12" and "Dragnet," and recorded the 1962 classic cult album "Project Comstock: Music From Outer Space."
The album is due Oct. 13 from Surfdog Records.
The jump blues, rockabilly, swing and big band musician may be best-known for his work with the Stray Cats — but Setzer's work as bandleader of the Brian Setzer Orchestra has won him much critical acclaim in recent years.
The Brian Setzer Orchestra will perform its greatest hits and Stray Cats and holiday classics Dec. 11 at Windstar World Casino in Thackerville. For more information, visit his official Web site at tulsaworld.com/BrianSetzer.
