“Feelin’ Good, Yeah”
Al “Jazzbeaux” Collins Presents
The Lew Anderson Big Band
Sovereign Records (CDCOV-503)Lew Anderson’s Big Band, the Friday night big band at New York City’s "Birdland," is a straight ahead, swinging band, that, as Al “Jazzbeaux” Collins said, “bites like battery acid.”
Lew’s arrangements of these original compositions, and performed by these Woody Herman, Buddy Rich, Maynard Ferguson, Louie Bellson, Gerry Mulligan, Mel Lewis, Lionel Hampton Alumni, are nothing but sensational!
