“LIVE AT THE BLAZER!”
The Lew Anderson Big Band
Sovereign Records (CDSOV 506)This is a BIG BAND! I think Al “Jazzbeaux” Collins would say, “this band bites like battery acid!”
Great arrangements by Lew Anderson, terrific section work, outstanding solos from Scott Whitfield (tromb.), Brent Stanton, Rob Middleton (tenors), Vinnie Riccitelli (alto), and great high flying trumpet work by Mike Sherman, Joe Mosello and Glenn Drewes.
Listen to the sound bytes, and you decide.
