As one of the video interviewees said "There are no passengers in this group." Every song is performed with amazing articulation and dynamics. This is what all modern "big band" projects must aspire to. I bet few reach or exceed it.

The Big Phat Band is phenominal. The musicians are tops and the arrangements are interesting and cover a multitude of styles of music. For an old man who worked in "big bands" as a youngster I really appreciate music that is well constructed and executed. These guys are Grrrrrrreat. I'll be first in line when they come out with new CDs (or DVDs)

Gordon Goodwin is a superb composer and arranger and the musicianship of his band members is phenomenal. The DVDs contain interviews with the players, guest artists, and a lot of interesting information. I recommend purchasing his play along series. The transcribed solos alone are worth the price.Trumpet, Level 5-6 (Book & CD; Big Phat Band Play-Along Series) (Gordon Goodwin's Big Phat Band Play-Along)Gordon Goodwin Big Phat Play Along: Alto Saxophone (Book & CD)and others.
