“16 Men & A Chick Singer Swingin’”
PRATT BROTHERS BIG BAND featuring Roberta Gambarini
Consolidated Artists Productions (CAP 985)This is one cookin’ big band! Great charts, great section work, great soloists, and great sound! For someone who doesn't favor vocalists, Roberta Gambarini has converted me. She's a great young artist!
This CD is going into my big band jazz collection. I hope you'll feel the same way after hearing the sound bytes.
