Heigh-Ho (The Dwarf's Marching Song) - Dave Brubeck Quartet




Here is another track from one of my favourite Disney cover albums, DAVE DIGS DISNEY. It is Snow White's Heigh-Ho jazzed up by the wonderful DAVE BRUBECK QUARTET.

The recording, which features Paul Desmond on the alto sax, Joe Morello on the drums and Eugene Wright playing the double bass, is one that the Quartet had in their repertoire for a while before the idea of this album came about. Here is an excerpt from the liner notes:

"Heigh-Ho" has been developing of late as a closing number for a night-club set, being on of those free-wheeling tunes with an orthodox structure, which lends itself to creating a climactic feeling of excitement.
