    MIKE BARONE Big Band
    Rhubarb Records (R/R 103)

    Mike Barone, one of this country’s finest composers/arrangers! As an example, Mike wrote over 300 compositions, and arrangements for Doc Severinsen, and the Tonight Show Band.

    His last CD, “Live 2005!” was one of the best selling CD’s on this website last year, and is still selling well. He’s done it again with this outstanding new CD, “Metropole.”

    “Well-crafted and imaginative, Mike Barone’s arrangements, and compositions are consistently intriguing.”

       -- Don Heckman, Los Angeles Times
