5 out of 5 stars NeoClassic Big Band Jazz.......2006-03-03

When the Rap Genre is finally dead and buried on the scrapheap of discarded American Pop Music styles, I sincerely hope that something like this classic sound takes its place. This album pays homage to the American Big Band Jazz Tradition and is very worthy of anyone's listening time. State of the Art soloists and a superior quality recording make this album very worthy of anybody's CD collection.

3 out of 5 stars Bigband tradition is still alive!.......2006-02-11


It is impressive to notice that bigbands have still spread all over the USA after so many years even considering they do not hit the charts anymore.

Maybe one could say some charisma is missing when comparing the current bigbands with the late Count Basie or Stan Kenton but they still carry some charm.

Bob Mintzer is charming. Creative arrangements and good sax solos are his personal difference.

Here you'll find a bunch of his arrangements in a live recording.
Kurt Elling contributes with vocals on 2 tracks, maybe a must for his fans.
