Chelsea's phrasing and ability to get into a song and make it go somewhere is as good as it gets, and maybe as good as it s ever been. While she has since traveled the country with many famous jazz greats and traveling Broadway shows, she is currently appearing in New York on Broadway. What you won't believe is the fact that this recording of her was made before she graduated high school!BILL SARGENT'S TRAD-JAZZ ROUSERS DIXIELAND BAND is happy, carefree and composed right before your very eyes, or ears. It's a bodacious band that really kicks . . . nothing pretentious or refined about it. The musicians you'll hear are phenomenal!BILL SARGENT'S SWING KINGS is an All-Star hybrid swing band that plays both Dixieland and classic swingin straight-ahead jazz. The clarinetist has the best tone in the world combined with a hard driving improvisation that simply makes him the world's greatest living clarinetist. The trumpeter wails with originality and imagination combined with chops that won't quit. On and on and anything else said about the rest of the band, becomes a redundancy of what I wrote about the two guys above.THE BILL SARGENT BIG BAND is hard driving, animalistic, kicking and swingin' ! It's an All-Star band of fantastic musicians who don t need a studio and recording tricks to sound tight. They approach swing classics with a refreshing zip and more happening tempos. It's a kinda in your face sorta thing.
