Awesome
This is the new standard for 21st-century big bands. Gordon Goodwin is an amazing composer and arranger, as I know from personal experience working with him a few times, and he has comprised 18 of the best musicians in the world to form one heck of a band. He also has an awesome aresenal of guest artists, from Brandon Fields and Eric Marienthal to Eddie Daniels and Arturo Sandoval. The Big Phat Band is really something, and I can't wait for what lies ahead for Gordon and the guys.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Absolutely The Best Modern Big Band Album Recorded
These 10 tracks are some of the BEST Big Band sounds ever laid down. Ellington, Basie, Herman would all be envious! I've listened to track #10 "A Few Good Men" at least 200 times and I still get goose bumps. Amazing! I run out of adjectives to describe the sheer delight in this recording. I made my local library obtain copies of both this CD and "XXL". I only hope that there are many more recordings to come from Gordon Goodwin and his "Phat" friends!

Swingin' For The Fences
 $13.49  
In addition to having excellent cover art (an illustrated cityscape in which a giant saxophone--complete with windows, a doorway, and stoop--takes its place among the neighboring buildings), LENOX AVENUE BREAKDOWN is also a dynamic, unjustly overlooked jazz album. Prodigiously talented as an instrumentalist and composer, alto saxophonist Arthur Blythe was one of the most innovative jazz musicians of the 1970s and '80s, and LENOX AVENUE BREAKDOWN, his ...

Swingin' For The Fences
$16.95
Dogs of Great Indifference is the fourth Winter & Winter CD by Jim Black's extraordinary AlasNoAxis quartet, a band that sometimes seems the perfect embodiment of internal contradictions. This is a jazz group that prefers rocking over swinging and often limits improvisations to relatively minor digressions from simple melodies. Those melodies are attractive, but balanced by floods of distorted noise. Leader/composer Black is without doubt one of the most hyper-rhythmic drummers in the world today, yet even when the quartet settles into a rocking mode, rhythmic quirks, odd syncopations, and offbeat time signatures can subvert the notion of a straight-time groove. And the musicians themselves can appear to come from different sonic universes, particularly when Chris Speed's intentionally fragile and even tentative-sounding tenor saxophone is almost disturbingly threatened by guitarist Hilmar Jensson's post-grunge/noise guitar attack. OK, it would be an exaggeration to say that each and every track on Dogs is an exercise in self-negation: a listen to the very first moments of opening track "Oddfelt," as Jensson picks subtle harmonics beneath Speed's quietly lovely initial stirrings, reveals a band in subtle consonance, an impression only strengthened as Black and bassist Skuli Sverrisson enter with understated support and the piece drifts in and out of focus knitted together by Jensson's arpeggios, building and retreating as Speed holds back and then finally states a beautifully melodic theme. But while the title track eventually coalesces around Speed's thematic statement and then settles into a comfortably spacious midtempo groove with the saxophonist flitting about over ...
