Album Notes & Community Reviews
Applying his famously precise, crystalline clarinet tone to the sophisticated songbook of Cole Porter, the bandleader delivers highly polished big band arrangements. The ensemble navigates the composer's witty, harmonically adventurous structures with immense rhythmic drive and urbane elegance. The project exemplifies the peak of refined, commercially viable swing orchestration.
