5.0 out of 5 stars Forever Florence, July 14, 2009

This album is a beautiful tribute to a "Legendary" man of enormous talent in composition, style and artistry, Bob Florence. A blend of amazing arrangements and newly penned songs by the master himself keeps the listener enthralled. My personal favorite is a light bossa called "Luci"......it's dreamy and the horn solo is gorgeous. With Bob Florence's passing, the last song "Auld Lang Syne" with him at the keyboards is wistful and very poignant.
Good night, Bob, and God Bless. This is you best album yet.

This presumably last album from the late Bob Florence is yet another of his big band's triumphant performances. Fantastic solos (check out Carl Saunders on cut one!), brilliant arranging, and a level of musicianship that can hardly be equaled make this a joy to hear. In a just world, Bob Florence's visage would be on a postage stamp. He was a national treasure. Legendary.

The arrangements on Bob Florence's Legendary selected to pay tribute to a great musician also highlight his varied and unique big band jazz sounds, nicely ending with Auld Lang Syne. My favorite is the piano in You Must Believe in Spring.
