Review: The current band from North Texas University rocks! They know how to swing, to solo and to put the boot in. Add a rhythm section that sparkles and an arranging team that provides charts that only the very best can handle make this one of the best big band albums around.
If You Like: Stan Kenton Orchestra, Woody Herman Orchestra, Christian McBride Big Band
