CD Reviews

The beauty and fullness of the big bands
06/06/2002
(5 out of 5 stars)

"This CD has all the elements of what was great about the big bands. Full, beautifully executed arrangements on the ballads, (with the fine voice of Buddy Stewart), and wonderfully swinging Jazz. It's always interesting to see what a great band was able to do with banal material such as Chiquita Bannana. With a good beat and stellar soloists you realize a band like this could swing just about anything.
I highly recommend this CD as a Prime example of the BIG BANDS."
Great modernistic late 40's bebop swing

"Great vocals, great arrangements, great drummin, man it's CARZY and cool stuff."
Nothing Much New & Idiotic Cover Art
Shawn Martin | Boise, ID USA | 09/25/2002
(2 out of 5 stars)

"Unfortunately Columbia is just regurgitating the same material into new releases. Nothing much new here that isn't already available. On another note, the person who came up with this cover art knows nothing about Gene apparently. Gene played Slingerland drums virtually his entire career. The cd shows him sitting behind a modern Yamaha set with an 18" bass drum! Gene never played anything smaller than a 22.""
