This is NOT big band music, it is exellent 1950's style jump blues, modeled after Louis Prima, sam Butera & The Witnesses. It Las Vegas, Italian style rock'n'roll fro adults from the 50's! The music does swing, but it falls in the lines of r&b and jump blues. Great Louis Prima inspired music, but it isn't big band.

I love this CD, it is a delight for parties and even though it is corny, it is fun and no one can deny the musical talent of these "fellas" and the instrumentals are great too.

Well, if you like swing and Louis Prima, this CD is for you. I've found all the tracks absolutely fine and professionally recorded. Good Fellas are simply fantastic and Ray Gelato too.
Add few bucks and get this title. You'll be not disappointed.

These guys not only know how to put together a great sound, they are more traditional then the current crop of 'hot' young big bands nowadays. The quality of the true jazz instrumentals puts this group head and shoulders above the other guys. Even the corny That's Amore sounds fresh with some interesting time changes. If you're looking for what real big band is check out this album
