About this album
7 x Wilder is a charming and intelligent jazz album that shows Bob Brookmeyer’s quartet bringing fresh colour to Billy Wilder-associated songs. Issued in 1961, the set sits comfortably between cool jazz poise and bop elasticity, with Brookmeyer’s trombone leading arrangements that balance wit, lyricism and subtle swing. The programme draws on material from songs associated with Wilder films and gives familiar tunes a new harmonic and melodic edge without losing their melodic appeal. It is a compact, elegant example of early-1960s modern jazz, valued for its tasteful ensemble interplay and Brookmeyer’s distinctive, conversational approach.
