5.0 out of 5 stars
a beautiful, swingin' CD, August 25, 2004
This review is from: Our 25th Year (Audio CD)
This has got to be one of the best big band CD's I've ever heard. The arrangements are top-notch. "Imagination" has Guido Basso soloing on an absolutely beautiful rendition of this tune. 4 B.C. (Benny Carter)opens the CD in a medium tempo groover and then "Imagination" is the second cut. Later is "nightfall" and "My Bells". These are gorgeous ballads with flutes in the mix. This CD is so nice. I own about 5 cd's of Rob Mcconnell's. They're all good but this one is unbelievably satisfying. As all good music, it gets better with repeated listenings. If you like a large orchestra do yourself a favor and get this.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Was going to kick-back - - -, April 21, 2007
This review is from: Our 25th Year (Audio CD)
- - and relax on a beautiful Saturday afternoon........
But that's very difficult to do with Rob McConnell and his Canadian band SWINGING on the stereo....
Was unfamiliar with them until I read some item (Mel Torme' wrote it) lauding this big band - - - - and, YES ----- right!
Finally in a mood to get away from small groups and Bossa Nova for a day or three -- found the right vehicle. Tight charts, fine personnel = Excellent band!
