Synopsis

Album Description

In the final release of the Limited Edition, it is all about the legendary Bob Florence. Four new originals, plus standards like "Take the `A' Train" (twisted by Florence), will blow listeners away! In his storied career, Florence received two Emmy Awards, a whopping 16 Grammy nominations, and a coveted Grammy Award for the album Serendipity 18. Features some of the best players in the world, including powerhouses Peter Erskine, Carl Saunders, and Scott Whitfield. Booklet includes over 25 dedications from family, friends, and band members.

CD Reviews

Legendary, indeed

C.A. Arthur | Tacoma, Washington | 08/14/2009

(5 out of 5 stars)

"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."

Florence in Review

A Cook | San Diego | 07/25/2009

(5 out of 5 stars)

"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."
