Album Notes & Community Reviews

Driven by an intensely enthusiastic bandleader and bassist, this session injects modern, bop-inflected solos into the massive frameworks of traditional swing arrangements. The powerhouse brass section and relentless rhythmic propulsion perfectly encapsulate the high-energy transition out of the big band era.
