5.0 out of 5 stars The great Nestico charts played by one swinging band!, November 18, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Play It Again Sam (Audio CD)

Sammy Nestico- one of America's great writers is well played here by Frank Capp's band. Frank is one of the swingingest drummers around. The highlight of the CD is Steve Wilkerson's alto work on Sammy's tune Soft As Velvet - brilliant ballad playing! Great tenor battles-Pete Christlieb & Ricky Woodard and Gerald Wiggins swinging as ever on piano!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great big band CD, September 26, 2007

Dine-O-Mite! This is a fantastic big band album, swinging from first note to last. Sal Nestico deserves a big pat on the back for the arrangements and most of the compositions. There are many noteworthy highlights here but some of the very best include the Carl Saunders and Conte Candoli trumpet chases on THE HEAT'S ON, Pete Christlieb and Ricky Woodard trading off each other on YA GOTTA TRY, and Jackie Kelso's Johnny Hodges' inspired alto playing on WARM BREEZE. Also worthy of note is the excellent recorded sound of the band: the engineers finally got it right (big bands have not been recorded well sound-wise in recent years). Frankie Capp's Juggernaut continues to be among the swingingest outfits playing big band jazz out there. Great stuff!

Alas, one of my lady friends, ????, took my cd. I saw Frank Capp's band play in Topeka, Ks about three years ago. Great stuff!! Well, any band that has Conti Condoli, one of Stan Kenton's original members, early 50's,has to like the album. Smooth, swift, and compelling. My kind of music. Jerry
