The Magic Touch is a 1962 album by jazz arranger Tadd Dameron and His Orchestra, released on Riverside Records.
The Allmusic Review of the line-up says that "one has to be in awe of them, and that only Dameron was able to convene such a band of extraordinary jazz performers in their prime."[4]
The album has since been reissued many times on Original Jazz Classics, most recently in 2008.[4]
Reception
In his Down Beat magazine review critic John S. Wilson awarded the album three stars and wrote: "Although Dameron's arrangements are, for the most part, designed as settings for soloists, neither the soloists nor the arrangements generate much interest."[1]
