2014 collection, the third in a series of compilations devoted to Jack Nietzsche's production work. This third volume more than upholds the standards set by the first two. All students of American popular music will welcome NIGHT WALKER. It includes important tracks by artists with whom Jack was closely associated over a long period of time, such as Jackie DeShannon and Neil Young, as well as a host of obscure and semi-obscure delights from lesser known's that Jack worked with only once or twice - many of which have never appeared on CD before. For the first time in this series we have been able to incorporate examples of Jack's work with Phil Spector, including key songs from the Ronettes, Crystals and Darlene Love. Several other tracks that were not available for previous volumes, such as Buffalo Springfield's 'Expecting to Fly', also debut here. All facets of Jack's talent are amply represented by a collection that literally spans his entire career, from his first session (Preston Epps) to his last (C.C. Adcock). He is himself featured as a vocalist, a conductor/arranger and a film score composer. Review: Great Sound - Good masters sourced a a good collection. Review: Legendary arranger, producer and artists gets his due - for the third time - Best-known for his work with Phil Spector on the producer's legendary "wall of sound," Nitzsche was a talented arranger, producer, writer and artist - who won an Oscar - and this is the third thoughtful overview of his work from the aces at Ace Records. It's got a few Spector tracks along with other interesting songs. As usual, the liner notes are worth the price of admission to any Ace project.

Legendary arranger, producer and artists gets his due - for the third time
Best-known for his work with Phil Spector on the producer's legendary "wall of sound," Nitzsche was a talented arranger, producer, writer and artist - who won an Oscar - and this is the third thoughtful overview of his work from the aces at Ace Records. It's got a few Spector tracks along with other interesting songs. As usual, the liner notes are worth the price of admission to any Ace project.

Jack Nitzsche - a musical production wizard!
Cd arrived on time and in good condition. I now have all 3 if the Jack Nitzsche Story cd’s. An incredibly talented, imaginative & versatile producer who left behind a great legacy of studio work that 1stcame to my attention with work with Neil Young & Buffalo Springfield and also soundtrack work on The Exorcist and One Flew Over Cuckoo Nest ost’s

Significant lack.
From my own point of view (a selfish one to be sure, since I was co-lyricist for some of the tunes involved), it seems silly to keep releasing these compilations of Jack Nitzsche's stuff without including at least SOME of the splendid second David Forman album, recorded in LA in 1977 and unreleased by Arista. There is a copy of the final mix in Mr. Forman's possession, supplied to him by the late, great, and much-lamented Hall Willner. There also might be licensing issues, but it's absolutely wonderful work, with a tremendous sense of physical depth. I recommend that, for the NEXT compilation, these guys give one of us a call.....

Good...but awful sequencing!
While I applaud this series of producer/.arranger CDs from Ace, the one really annoying feature of the comps is the sound & style of the songs which is all over the place from different eras of music. The content should have been arranged in a chronological order (or at least closer to it) in order to showcase the development of the arranger. This one is no exception which ridiculously kicks off with the most modern recording, a 2001 track, CC Adcock's revival of Johnny Otis' "Castin My Spell" then wanders all over the track before finally going out with the earliest recording on the set, Preston Epps' excellent "Bongo Bongo Bongo" from 1960. In between those two, the listener is taken on a roller coaster ride through an awkward mish mash of sounds and styles of music from years too far apart. As far as the selections go, there are some good one's here, not the least of which is Dick Glasser's 1965 production for The Fleetwoods of "Come Softly To Me", which is every bit as good as, if not better than their '59 hit version. A hats off also for the inclusion of Billy Storm's Infinity classic "Educated Fool". As I said earlier, the big fault here is the order of the tracks which soundwise, simply don't flow and tend to jar the listening experience.

Some compilations seem more like reference books
Respectfully disagree with Aj on the 'flow' issue. I always find Ace comps to be refreshing because they usually are not chronological. Some compilations seem more like reference books, with a predictable sequencing of sound, style, etc. Ace comps seem like the work of an intelligent DJ. BTW, also delighted with that Fleetwoods track - wonder if there's anymore from that session?
