The musical by Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II, burst onto Broadway with inexhaustible pomp, presenting a sophisticated and balanced book accompanied by melodies of extraordinary beauty. When 20th Century Fox adapted this hit musical to film, it won an Academy Award for “Best Score for a Motion Picture Musical” in 1956. With the film’s success, it seemed timely to extend the triumphs of “The King and I” into yet another dimension: a jazzy version of the show’s best songs. Producer David Axelrod selected pianist Gerald Wiggins’ trio for this challenge. Wiggins, along with his colleagues, bassist Eugene Wright and drummer Bill Douglass, demonstrated their undeniable ability to maximize the quality of this music, taking advantage of his collective talent. The trio swings hard and there is such a delightful element of fun that you can’t help but enjoy the product.
