Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Jazz Orbit -- Bill Holman Orchestra.......2006-02-28

Brilliant compositions and arrangements by the best big band jazz composer/arranger in the history of the art form. And the band is made up of the finest L.A. studio musicians.

4 out of 5 stars More West Coast Big Band by the Dean.......2000-09-24

Even though my preference when it comes to west coast jazz is for smaller formats - quintet, septet, octet etc. - this is a fine big band performance featuring all the usual suspects (Holman, Sheldon, Kamuca, Rosolino, Candoli, Porcino etc.) giving their all to some excellent arrangements by Holman. Nine charts, all nicely done up by Holman, showcasing the best of the west when it comes to solos, lead playing and tight section work. Recorded in 1958 this is another great recording to add to your collection. Recommended, especially if you like the work of contemporaries like Kenton, Shorty Rogers and other west coast experimental big bands. I only deducted a star because these charts just don't swing as hard as some other Holman offerings.
