Product Description
Alanna Records is extremely proud and thrilled to have signed such a great and talented new big band. The Tony Corbiscello Big Band was chosen to open at all of the dates for the world wide Frank Sinatra final tour. It was an incredible big break for Tony and the band, who received raves for the bands dynamic performances. Last summer was another of those special moments when the band was asked to play at the dedication of Sinatra Park at Frank's home in Hoboken New Jersey. It was a love fest-Sinatra's signature songs, being relived and played live in his memory, with a stunning big band-it made time stand still! As a very special guest on IN FULL SWING, Tony presents the superb jazz great, Bucky Pizzarelli on guitar. The master at work gives this release an extra brilliant dimension. The Tony Corbiscello Big Band will celebrate ushering in the New Year 2000 at the Trump Taj Mahal Casino in Atlantic City. Solid preformaces include DREAM, THAT OLD FEELING,MARGIE,! LOVER,BIKINI BOSSA and more.

In Full Swing is Mark O'Connor's tribute to Stephane Grappelli, the musician he describes as "my biggest violin hero." His band, the Hot Swing Trio, features bassist Jon Burr, who toured with Grappelli for years, and guitarist Frank Vignola, one of the finest American players in the Django Reinhardt tradition. Even though the selections include standards that Grappelli played during the 1930s with Reinhardt (such as "Lime House Blues" and "Honeysuckle Rose"), the music is far more than just a nostalgic recreation of the famous Hot Club sound. Instead, O'Connor and his bandmates have filtered musical elements from the past through a contemporary rhythmic and harmonic sensibility to come up with a style that sounds both timely and timeless. The trio is joined on a few tracks by singer Jane Monheit, who delivers a particularly moving rendition of "As Time Goes By," and by trumpeter Wynton Marsalis, who plays a delightfully abstract duet with O'Connor on the intro to "Tiger Rag." All of the musicians here are at the top of their game, but O'Connor's playing, which blends his formidable technique with deep emotion, is particularly fine. Stephane would be proud. --Michael Simmons

5 out of 5 stars Great CD!.......2005-05-05

I had to respond to the person who said "Swing is not concert hall music.... it is intimate" Absurd!!! Most of the swing music played in the old days was in dance halls and concert halls. What about Benny Goodman at Carnegie Hall??

5 out of 5 stars What happened to the playlist?.......2005-03-31

This is a fabulous album. I love Jane Monheit here. But some of the best tracks on my CD are not on the Amazon music sampler playlist. The first two tracks on my album are "In Full Swing," not "Heading North," and an amazing version of "Honeysuckle Rose," with Marsalis and Monheit, not "Mi Negra." Track 5 on my disc is "Staphane and Django," by O'Connor and 7 is "3 For All" by bassist Jon Burr.

I played Amazon's sampler and the right tunes are there, just the wrong titles. That's good, because this CD is great the way it is. I wouldn't trade any of the songs for any others, especially "Honeysuckle Rose," which is worth the cost of the CD by itself.

4 out of 5 stars Captivating bluegrass jazz mix (bluegrazz?).......2005-02-05

I was not familiar with Mark O'Connor's work so it was quite a thrill when "Heading North" came roaring out of my speakers. What's wonderful about this CD is that it pays debt to Reinhardt and Grapelli while offering something new as well. There's a definite blueglass flavor to this session, creating a sort of "bluegrazz" if you will. The ensemble playing is technically excellent and, more importantly, a joy to listen to. Of the four tunes done with Jane Monheit, two are terrific, but the torch ballads "Misty" and "As Time Goes By" seem out of place here. They are fine (though not excellent) renditions that detract somewhat from the overall mood of the album. On the other hand, Wynton Marsalis' contribution to "Tiger Rag" is sensational, at times giving the tune a baroque feel. It makes one hope that Mr. Marsalis will collaborate with this trio again. Overall this is exhuberant music, beautifully played and I recommend it without hesitation.
You are most likely to enjoy this CD if you like Django Reinhardt, Stephane Grapelli, k d lang, Alison Krauss.

5 out of 5 stars the word 'incredible' doesn't do this CD justice.......2004-08-31

Very simply said, "stellar work". The improvisational style of this genre of music is right down these guys' alley. Precision is second nature to these guys, too. Also, if you ever get the chance to see the "Hot Swing Trio" live, GO SEE THEM! I could sit and listen to these guys til the cows come home. Stellar (there's that word again) musicians, to say the least!

1 out of 5 stars Insullfwing.......2004-06-16

I'm amazed at these reviews. Guys...O'Connor is not God. Perhaps the greatest fiddler of all, but this recording is dreadful for such a league. First of all, what's with all the verb? Swing is not concert hall music. It's intimate. The trumpet and fiddle are so loud in the mix that it's no longer ensemble playing. I think that these fellows are excellent musicians no question, however there are better players out there....they most likely though, cannot stand the oppressive weight of O'Connor's massive EGO and are not easily recruited. Just my opinion. "Misty" are you kidding?

5 out of 5 stars The SACD version kicks butt.......2003-03-30

This is a great album of jazz standards done by a hot trio with a vocal assist from young diva, Jane Monheit, whose voice is gorgeous. Wynton Marsalis is along for the ride on several numbers. I had the pleasure of seeing this group live in Feb. at NYC's Lincoln Center. It prompted me to make this purchase. It's a classic. I was able to compare the SACD version against the regular CD, which I bought for a friend. Both are great, but SACD really pulls out the detail.

4 out of 5 stars What??? Are they listening to the same CD I'm listening to?.......2005-01-21

There are a couple of really negative reviews here that blow my mind! It sounds almost as if the reviewers didn't listen to the recordings and just have some kind of weird axe to grind. Maybe frustrated musicians/singers? Who knows? If these are old charts as stated, it looks by the liner notes and photos that they were given to Tony Corbiscello personally by Marion Evans himself. I'll admit that Joe Francis sounds a little shakey on the Sinatra-esque "Don't Worry 'Bout Me" and "Saturday Night". But, he delivers an impressive treatment on "Half as Much" and "Gal in Calico". All in all for a first effort, I'm happy I've added it to my collection. There's no question this record swings.

3 out of 5 stars Average.......2001-08-23

Old charts, Joe Francis does imitations of Frank Sinatra, but he has a great deal of difficulty staying on key!!!

5 out of 5 stars GREAT ALBUM...!!.......2001-07-15

What can you say about Tony that hasn't already been said. Great music and great musicians...Worth getting.

3 out of 5 stars Average at best.......2001-06-05

Contrary to the previous 2 reviews which read almost like album liner notes, there is very little to recommend this CD. The arrangements have little or no innovation and the musicians, while mostly competent, lack drive and generate no excitement. In some instances, the solists are so weak that they can barely be heard and in 2 cases, they miss the pitch badly. As someone who has been a big band fan for years and a musician as well, there are many big bands and swing bands out there who will give you a much bigger bang (and band!) for your buck.

5 out of 5 stars Classic Full and Satisfying Swing.......2000-08-19

A friend of mine told me that there was this amazing swing band, a big band in the classic style. I was lucky enough to hear The Tony Corbiscello Big Band in person in New York City this summer. Then I immediately bought the CD. One listen and I knew they were fabulous. The sound is big, tight, professional, and definitely swinging. The music is so listenable and you will surely be tapping your feet in time with the rhythm. The music is also great for dancers, especially swing dancers. Tony's music is "friendly," inviting, and lots of fun. Anyone who has heard it can't believe how great the sound is. If you get the CD, you will not be disappointed.

      Album Description

      With "The Full Catastrophe" - a record declared one of the year's best in The Village Voice Pazz & Jop poll - William Lee Ellis works the roots of American music and twists them to his own designs. In 16 original songs that range from gospel-blues to rockabilly, from Delta swing to haunting guitar instrumentals, his second solo recording brings together the pieces of the American music puzzle that has been his life.

      Guest appearances by Memphis music legends Paul Burlison and Jim Dickinson, as well as by Tony Ellis - Bill's father and a former member of Bill Monroe's Blue Grass Boys - highlight this exploration of the heart of American music traditions, produced by Ellis's musical partner and multi-instrumentalist Larry Nager.
