Double Impact is the second LP of twelve musical themes from popular television programs of the late 1950s performed by the Buddy Morrow Orchestra.
The chart success of Buddy Morrow's Impact, released in June 1959, prompted the production a year later of a follow-on effort, dubbed Double Impact. The album reflected RCA Victor's continued efforts to meet popular demand for television program theme music.
The tracks were arranged by veteran RCA Victor producer Ethel Gabriel, and were recorded at Webster Hall in New York City. The recording engineers were Bob Simpson and Ray Hall.[1]
The liner notes to Double Impact declare that television program music "is no longer neglected. Television has become a fashionable showcase for the special talents of the composing and performing jazz musician." The album "covers a lot of ground," geographically and thematically. "Crime, violence and the sounds of the chase can be heard mirrored in the themes."[1]
