Jazz Waltz is an album by American jazz trumpeter, composer and arranger Shorty Rogers, released on the Reprise label in 1963.
[1] On All About Jazz Dave Rickert said "the novelty of ¾ time in music is still fresh even today and Joe Mondragon and Mel Lewis create a seemingly infinite variety of ways to swing in waltz time.
Rogers contributes a few catchy melodies (in particular the title track) and creates lovely charts".
[3] Allmusic noted "Shorty Rogers' Jazz Waltz is exactly that, an exploration of ten compositions played in waltz settings.
Only these big-band charts are hardly the waltzes heard on Lawrence Welk's long-running television series".
