New Standard Jazz Orchestra
Waltz About Nothing
Genre: Jazz
Review: If you put "New Standard" in your name, you better be good! The NSJO rises to the occasion. Most of the tunes in this set are originals with a few early gems, but no standards. Even "Close to You" gets a good workout
FCCs: none
If You Like: Duke Ellington Orchestra, Ray Brown's Big Band
Favorite Tracks: (1) Metamorphosis (2) Spring and Fall (7) Lexicon (8) Bu's Groove (11) Milestones
Track Review: 1/ horns start> uptempo jam> crescendo end 2/ piano starts> midtempo jam> slow fade 3/ drums/horns start> midtempo jam> quick fade 4/ horns start> midtempo jam> crescendo end
5/ horns start> slow tempo jam 6/ drums start> uptempo jam> quick stop 7/ piano starts. slow tempo jam> fade 8/ horns start> midtempo jam
9/ horns start> midtempo> quick fade on horn
10/ horns start> midtempo jam> crescent end
11/ piano starts> uptempo jam> sudden stop
