Boop-Oop-A-Dooin’: The Songs of Sammy Timberg

As I was routing around the blog I noticed we’d had a few substantial mentions of early cartoon composer Sammy Timberg by Dave Kirwan and Anne D. Bernstein. It’s pretty hard to find his family’s excellent 2004 recreation CD from his original arrangements for songs from Fleischer Studios’ Betty Boop, Superman, Popeye and others. So, I’m posting {lower resolution than perfect} files of the CD until it becomes readily available again. Like a lot of you, I love cartoon music from back in the day, so enjoy.–Fred

‘Producing’ the jazz I was involved with was a misnomer, it was actually ‘recording supervision.’ I mean, what was an a rock’n’roll playing, 26 year old kid from the suburbs going to tell a master musician to do? Play faster? Better? The records weren’t always what I would’ve wanted, but they reflected the vision of the artist. That was my job.

Liner Notes
