| | Great Big Bands CD - Import
If you are looking for a comprehensive big-band hit list chock full of essentials, here it is...'nuff said. You get evergreens like Glenn Miller's "Pennsylvania 6-5000" and "American Patrol" bookending Duke Ellington's "Take the 'A' Train," Count Basie's "One O'Clock Jump," Les Brown's "Harlem Nocturne," Stan Kenton's "Peanut Vendor," cuts from both Dorsey brothers, Woody Herman, and more. For a big-band lover or newbie to this style, this collection is close to definitive and would be hard not to recommend. ~ Michael G.

| | Tord Gustavsen Changing Places CD (2003)
Great Big Bands CD music
$14.59 This release signals in the then 33-year old, Norwegian pianist Tord Gustavsen's debut outing for the ECM Records label. His fellow compatriots, bassist Harald Johnsen and drummer Jarle Vespestad, round out this jazz piano trio offering. Fundamentally speaking, the group seemingly works its palate into that classic "ECM Records" aesthetic, comprising echo-laden sonic characteristics and a chamber-esque vibe. Otherwise, Gustavsen demonstrates meticulously construed faculties via a tasteful approach, ringing up notions of the ...

| | Doc Severinsen Brand New Thing CD (1977)
Great Big Bands album
$9.44 Here is an overlooked gem from a most unlikely source, recorded in a most unlikely genre -- commercial '70s jazz/funk -- just as the disco era was gathering steam. Tom Scott controlled the production, with Severinsen overdubbing all of the brass choruses and occasionally passing his horns through a phase shifter and wah-wah pedal. The coterie of overworked sessionmen from L.A. and NYC -- Richard Tee, Eric Gale, Lee Ritenour, Anthony Jackson, Ralph MacDonald, etc. -- work this session as you would expect, with the danceable beat always in mind. Yet they pulled off a great, thoroughly musical record because the tunes are often uncommonly good, particularly the two non-Scott numbers, Tee's joyous "Virginia Sunday" and MacDonald's truly haunting "There Is a Girl." Although Doc's work on trumpet ...
| | Peter White Glow CD (2001)
Great Big Bands CD music
$7.59 This is a multi-channel Super Audio CD playable only on Super Audio CD players.
More than most jazz lite artists, Peter White flaunts a restless improvisational sense, which is fully evident on Glow. Aside from a few incidental fills tossed into the breeze by this or that horn player, this is entirely White's show. His performance on all these tracks, typically over a backdrop of gauzy major-seventh string pads, provides a lesson in long-form jamming against a steady, sensuous backbeat, with octave passages and a buoyant rhythm feel that echo Wes Montgomery. Despite these similarities, White displays a distinctive sound, with blues and Spanish influences perfuming his romantic phrases. The original material is unmemorable, and even such familiar titles as "Just My Imagination" and "Who's That Lady" stretch into one- or two-chord vamps that serve as broad thoroughfares for his solos; without having to twist through a maze of chord changes, White can kick back, close his eyes, and let long, liquid lines flow. This is, of course, ...
