5.0 out of 5 stars Greatest Big Band Album I have ever Heard!!!!, December 12, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Night Flight (Audio CD)

Anyone interested in Big Band Jazz ought to have this album. Track 9, A WARM BREEZE , ought to be in every college band, must hear catagory. A flute lead over the sax section during the middle of the track is a wonderful experience. Wish there was more from this man.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the classics, December 10, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Night Flight (Audio CD)

Shocking -- Sammy Nestico has been one of the big names in big band jazz ever since he played with Count Basie years ago, yet hardly any of his albums show up on Amazon. Must have stuck to vinyl, I guess. Regardless, this album is one of the greatest ones out there, and yet incredibly difficult to find in stores. Can't tell you how many times I've let friends borrow this CD. Highlights include Fascinating Rhythm (best cover I've heard of the old Gershwin tune), Marguerite (outstanding Latin piece with some amazing solos), and I'm Beginning To See the Light (another flawless cover). It's one of my favorite jazz albums of all time, along with Kenton's "Cuban Fire"
