Dan Buegeleisen Discography of CDs

Arranger/trumpeter Dan Buegeleisen sought to escape from the usual big-band sound on this CD by utilizing funk and even hip-hoppish rhythms in spots along with some unusual harmonies. His northern California ensemble still sounds like a big band and swings in spots, but does have a more contemporary sound. Major assets on this set are the two vocals by Kitty Margolis (on "My Shining Hour" and a mildly demented "It Never Entered My Mind") and Clairdee's singing on "I Wish I Knew." Otherwise, the music is comprised entirely of Buegeleisen's originals. Key soloists include the leader on trumpet, tenor saxophonist Mike Zilber, trombonist Dave Eshelman, and trumpeter Chuck MacKinnon. The music always holds one's interest. ~ Scott Yanow Dan is an accomplished composer, arranger, trumpeter & music educator. Here, he's joined by the S.F.
