5.0 out of 5 stars A New Band That's Really On Fire
I have been a Jazz, and Swing fan for decades.This new Spitfire band is the best I have ever heard. Bright, crisp, and on fire. Every score is a keeper. I can't wait for more of their work to be recorded. Their lead trumpet and trombone men are not to be believed, they're that good. If you like Jazz, and Swing, this CD is a must.

Your better off with the money burning a whole in your pocket, this is generic swing, nothing special, no solos or anything...

4.0 out of 5 stars This is the greatest band to come along since Si Zentner, August 8, 2000
This review is from: Big Band Swing Things (Audio CD)
Wow! What a great band. This band has got to be the best discovery in the last 40 years. The last great band i can remember is Si Zentner.

This band sure knows how to play. They are a high energy band. It's impossible to listen to them without getting your heart rate up. Another thing that has impressed me about this band is their song selection. They seems to have the right blend of old songs and fairly new ones. The style they play in is the old time style.

I think any one wanting to relive the glory days of the big bands will want to listen to this cd.

I Would Like To Strongly Recommend This Cd

This could be a benchmark for young musicians attempting to learn how to play in their high school jazz bands. The mixing of sectional play is superb...the energy of the performance is electrifying. Without a doubt, the best album yet for this incredible group!
