Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars) 5 stars

5 stars Hip, Modern, Hollywood Big Band
The writing on this cd by Gordon Goodwin is absolutely out of this world. The band swings mightily in the Buddy Rich, Bob Florence tradition and why not with such luminaries as Michael Brecker(ts), Peter Erskine(ds), Eric Marienthal and Sal Lozano(as & ss), etc.The trumpets led by Wayne Bergeron will gladly tear apart your speakers and you think you've heard it all until you've heard "Hunting Wabbits". It's a Bach invention for brass until Peter Erskine and the timps send Andy Martin(tb)into one of the most swinging interludes ever laid down in a recording studio. Hang on to your hat. This is no under-rehearsed, flat percussion, weak sister of a band. This is the the real thing and for an additional treat how about Johhny Mathis singing the blues? If you don't buy this one, I'm going to tell your mother.

5 stars Tops!
Gordon Goodwin is one of the very best composer/arrangers in jazz. The standard of the performance verges on the miraculous!

5 stars There's a lot of great music on this CD
Following in the footsteps of the last album, "Swingin' for the Fences", XXL does not disappoint. The addition of Eddie Daniels and the vocal group on a number of selections gives the album variety, all at a very high level of innovateive writing and performance. You will not get bored listening to this one, over and over again. I hear something new each time. Great fun!

5 stars Another Triumph For Gordon Goodwin
What a wonderful follow up to "Swingin' For The Fences". Unlike the first awesome CD this tremendous has vocals interspersed making for a audio animal unlike any other Big Band offering on the market. I've always thought that Take 6 was the quintessential acappella group. Paired with the Phat Band they become a mesmerizing combination. Both these albums are a must for serious Big Band afficiandos. If you've never cared for Johnny Mathis, here he puts himself in a class with Frank Sinatra or Harry Connick, Jr.

But saxophonist, pianist, and big-bandleader Gordon Goodwin isn't peddling nostalgia for the past. On ACT YOUR AGE, he takes aspects of the big-band sound and successfully combines them with contemporary jazz and pop music. Guests on ...

CD $20.29  Top 500 Audio Samples Definitive Album
Recorded between 1985 and 1991. Includes liner notes by Mary Katherine Aldin. Digitally remastered by Erick Labson (MCA Music Media Studios, North Hollywood, California). A definitive two-CD best-of covering Earle's work for MCA, with tracks from all his pre-drug bust albums in more or less chronological order from the 1987 GUITAR TOWN (when he was being marketed as a country artist) to the gonzo 1991 live SHUT UP AND DIE LIKE AN AVIATOR (where the grunge guitars made it clear that he wasn't). Comparisons to Springsteen and Mellencamp are accurate up to a point (as is the "Keith Richards of country" tag) but listening to this collection makes it clear that Earle's always been his own man. ...
