Bregman, Buddy

Bregman was born in Chicago, and was arranging music by the time he was 11. One of his early arrangements was played by the rehearsal big band led by a young William Russo before he joined Stan Kenton. Bregman's uncle was the great songwriter Jule Styne, who, as a boy, Bregman would visit during the summer. Bregman considered Styne a surrogate father.

Bregman came to Los Angeles to attend UCLA and wound up making the city his permanent home. He arranged four songs for a group called The Cheers, and their recording of the Lieber and Stoller-composed “(Bazoom) I Need Your Lovin’” hit the pop charts. Norman Granz heard the song and liked it, not knowing at the time that his young tennis partner had arranged it.

At this time Norman Granz was in the process of consolidating his three record labels into the newly formed Verve label. He hired Buddy Bregman to head the A&R department. Among Bregman's duties was to arrange and conduct for Ella Fitzgerald. Ella was suspicious of Bregman's youth, but soon warmed up to him. Together they created two of the biggest-selling albums of her career, the Cole Porter Songbook and the Rodgers and Hart Songbook. These two records were the first entries in her songbook series of albums.

Bregman arranged for Bing Crosby, Ricky Nelson, Mitzi Gaynor, Anita O'Day and many other performers for Verve release. He also arranged for Jerry Lewis, Carmen McRae, Sammy Davis, Jr., Eydie Gorme, Judy Garland and Ethel Merman. He also split orchestrating duties for the film musical version of “The Pajama Game.”

Bregman was invited to produce musical shows for the BBC, and he spent ten years in Europe. Returning in 1973, he continued to arrange, as well as produce and direct for television and motion pictures.
