"If you enjoy the Symphonic Jazz developed by Paul Whiteman and the sound of the legendary dance bands of the 20's, you'll love this CD.Of the many groups who attempt this style, SFSO is one of the very best. In my opinion, they, along with the Royal Society Jazz Orchestra and Keith Nichols are the very best of the best.Even of those three groups, none master the sweet side of Symphonic Jazz more than the SFSO. With 16 members, 5 of whom can play violin, and the hot jazz of one (if not the) great cornetist, Bob Schultz (Bix fans love him), and the ideally suited crooning voice of Ed Rosenback, this CD is a WOW (as are the others by SFSO).My favorites include: Clementine, There Ain't No Sweet Man Worth the Salt of My Tears, Proud, and Sugar."
