The legendary, fiercely competitive drummer leads a high-octane big band through a set of blistering, intricately arranged swing numbers. The pristine brass orchestrations offer the perfect runway for his explosive, technically unparalleled drum solos and relentless rhythmic drive. The recording is widely celebrated as one of the most powerful and precise large-ensemble outings of his extensive career.
