Buddy DeFranco with the Nelson Riddle Orchestra

Cross Country Suite

[@pianopappy]

Thanks for this post. By chance, I happen to hear two excerpts from this fine album yesterday (along with a brief telephone interview with DeFranco) on the "Seriously Sinatra" channel on Sirius/XM radio. Two Nelson Riddle websites mention a 2008 CD reissue of the album; but, apparently, it's out of print.

I was taking a lesson with Eddie Daniels and I played this melody for him and told him that it was from a buddy DiFranco record. Eddie then proceeded to call buddy and have me play the melody over the phone to Buddy. It was really cool.!

The title of the tune is smoky mountain
