Co-founders Phillip Johnston (soprano sax) and Joel Forrester (piano) wrote most of the group's material, featuring some twisted swing that borders on Raymond Scott-like novelty at times, though it's far looser in its execution. Seven Men in Neckties: History of the Micros, Vol. 1 is the first of two double-CD volumes (including the albums Take the Z Train and Let's Flip!) that compile the entire recordings of the Microscopic Septet, while also adding several previously unissued performances. Highlights from the studio sessions include the schizophrenic "Take the Z Train," the humorous "Pack the Ermines, Mary" and the long-running "Fresh Air Theme," which has been heard every weekday on the NPR radio series since the early '90s. The music from Let's Flip! represents the band's only live recording. "The Lobster Parade" is a loopy Latin number, while "Let's Flip!" teases the listener with references to such pieces as "Killer Joe," "Fly Me to the Moon" and "Old Devil Moon" as it saunters on its way. The one standard heard is a breezy rendition Billy Strayhorn's "Johnny Come Lately" which showcases baritone saxophonist David Sewelson and Phillip Johnston on soprano sax. While it is a shame that the Microscopic Septet wasn't able to record more frequently, fans will definitely want to pick up this two-CD compilation and its companion, Surrealistic Swing.Don Davis Sax (Alto) Richard Dworkin Drums, Assistant Joel Forrester Piano John Hagen Sax (Tenor) Dave Hofstra Tuba Phillip Johnston Arranger, Sax (Soprano), Liner Notes, Reissue Producer Danny Nigro Sax (Tenor) Dave Sewelson Sax (Baritone) Paul Shapiro Sax (Tenor) John Zorn SaxophoneJason Candler Remastering Amy Davis Cover Art Richard Foreman Liner Notes Terry Gross Producer Craig Hella Johnson Production Coordination Lars Klove Photography Dick Lucas Engineer Danny Miller Producer Carl Seltzer Engineer Art Spiegelman Cover Art
