LARGE ENSEMBLE JAZZ Led by trumpeter Brandon Lee and trombonists Willie Applewhite & James Burton, this “tentet” comprises seven horns plus a piano-bass-drums rhythm section. The guest soprano sax on tracks 5 and 8 makes eleven. The set is swingin’ straight-forward jazz. No FCC issues. 1 * Mid-fast. Bright & cheerful. Solos by trombone, alto sax, acoustic bass. (4:17) 2 Mid-slow. Theme on flute. Piano-bass-drums bridge. Tenor sax & trumpet solos. (7:01) 3 Mid-slow to slow. Billy Strayhorn classic. Solos by trombone and baritone sax. (6:16) 4 * Mid-tempo intro then fast. Catchy 1940s tune. Solos by piano, trombone, drums. (3:22) 5 * Mid-tempo with an easy-going samba sway. Solos by trumpet & soprano sax. (7:13) 6 * Mid-fast. Driving & spirited. Solos by (especially good) tenor sax & piano. (3:35) 7 Slow. Jimmy Van Heusen ballad led mostly by warm trombone. Trumpet solo too. (6:33) 8 Mid-tempo. Odd Stevie Wonder medley. Soprano sax, tenor sax, trumpet solos. (5:16) 9 Mid-fast. Big-band showpiece. Solos all around. (8:38) | ||
