Soft Samba - Gary McFarland (Verve) 1964

Gary McFarland (October 23, 1933 - November 3, 1971) was an influential composer, arranger, vibraphonist and vocalist,
prominent on Verve and Impulse! Records during the 1960s, when he made "one of the more significant contributors
to orchestral jazz". He attained a small following after working with Bill Evans, Gerry Mulligan, Johnny Hodges,
John Lewis, Stan Getz, Bob Brookmeyer, and Anita O'Day.

As well as his own albums and arrangements for other musicians he composed the soundtrack to the film "13"
(also known as "Eye Of The Devil"). By the end of the 1960s he was moving away from jazz towards an often wistful
or melancholy style of instrumental pop, as well as producing the recordings of other artists on his Skye Records
label (run in partnership with Gábor Szabó and Cal Tjader until its bankruptcy in 1970).

McFarland was considering a move into writing and arranging for film and stage when, on November 3, 1971,
he was poisoned by a drink spiked with methadone in a New York City bar.
