Without a doubt, this band is the TIGHTEST big band out there! They are just Incredible! If you like big band jazz.... you will LOVE these cats! PS: I saw them live and you would have thought it was recorded. They do VERY LITTLE mixing of their work, that amazes me.

I haven't heard anything this good or tight since Buddy Rich's bands of the 70's and 80's! Each track delivers something special and just when you think you've heard it all, along comes the next thing. The really amazing thing of all is that these guys are doing this for FUN!!! I was privileged to see their show in St. Louis in April - brought tears and chills.

If you haven't caught GG's soprano solo in "Second Chances", do so right away. It starts out somewhat simply but builds to such a climax that it makes the hair on your arms stand on end.

This band and its work is just awesome. Can't wait for the next CD.
