Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars 5 Stars only because there is no higher rating!.......1999-12-30

WOW, WOW, and more WOW! Every single Tom Kubis CD I put on keeps me on the edge of my seat from the moment it begins until the moment it ends! I have every CD Tom's band has done and I use them as aides in selecting music for my big band orchestra. I am the proud owner of over 30 Kubis charts thanks to these CD's. Even if you don't front a big band orchestra, this music is absolutely outstanding. Whatever one you get, you'll love it!

5 out of 5 stars STEVE ALLEN'S BIG BAND JAZZ COMPOSITIONS ARE AWESOME.......1999-01-19

This CD has no unexciting tracks. Allen's compositions are up there with the best, and as arranged by Kubis and performed by his big band, the whole shebang comes out to be one of my very favorite jazz albums in my significant size collection.I keep thinking, "What a shame Steve Allen made his name as a comic, when his musical abilities far outshine his comedy, as good as that is!"

5 out of 5 stars NOW YOU'LL FIND OUT STEVE ALLEN'S REAL TALENT!.......1999-01-07

Our friend Steve Allen recently sent us a copy of this album of his jazz compositions performed by the unbelievable Tom Kubis Big Band. Our personal collection of jazz albums is enormous, so I can tell you with authority that this one ranks among the top five of our big band albums. You must add it to your collection, to enjoy over and over. And to think, the world thinks of this man primarily as a comedian! What a shame!
