    The Cedar Avenue Big Band
    (CABB 0002)

    From the Land of 10,000 Lakes comes a great big band called the Cedar Avenue Big Band. As the renowned jazz reviewer, Jack Bowers stated, this is a very good big band.

    The objective for this CD was to feature Twin Cities composers, and arrangers, and they were 85% successful at doing this. The section work is great and the soloists are second to none! Check out the sound bites.
